Curriculum Design


A good curriculum uses a textbook as a tool rather than a complete program. Most textbooks have a grammatical syllabus built in, and it makes good sense to follow this syllabus. However, it should be supplemented and supported with additional, coordinated materials for students to achieve real progress.

 

Customized curriculum services

EFL Magic can design and implement a complete curriculum for your school. A variety of elements are available, and they can be customized and matched to the syllabus of your chosen textbook series. You can also let EFL Magic choose a textbook series for you based on your school's schedule, teaching, and marketing aims.

A curriculum package will typically include several components:

A collection of printable/photocopiable documents that reinforce and expand on the vocabulary patterns used in a popular ESL/EFL textbook series. These flashcards, crossword puzzles, word searches, quizzes, matching puzzles, study lists, scrambled letter and sentence puzzles, box-writing puzzles, story starters, and more will help your teachers easily achieve their learning targets.

2.

A collection of Web-based quizzes and learning games designed to maximize learning during computer lab sessions, and at home. This premium online content can be customized with your school's logo and color scheme, and you can add it to your school's Web site by uploading a single file, which we will give you. Access to your exclusive content can only be through your Web site, which will connect to our "quiz frame" to allow hundreds of interactive quizzes and games to be organized according to your school's English syllabus.

 
3.
A localized "parallel syllabus" designed to overcome the special problems faced by Asian students, especially in the area of verb tense and phonics (reading and spelling) ability. This component will consist of printable activity sheets and Web-based interactive games and quizzes.
4.
A student evaluation system consisting of oral tests and scoring forms that comprehensively measure progress and understanding of both the grammatical and parallel syllabuses.
5. Teacher guidelines for using all of the above materials.

How to obtain EFL Magic curriculum enhancement for your school.

Each school is different in its needs, and EFL Magic can provide you with exactly what you need. To determine an appropriate curriculum package for your school, a consultation is necessary to begin the process.

Many materials are available immediately, and these will be branded as EFL Magic content. Customization with your school's logo and design is possible for most materials, but this will necessarily take longer to implement.

To arrange a consultation, please contact us by email. Inquiries may be made in English or traditional Mandarin Chinese. See the contact page for the correct email address.
