Our World Philosophy

The Our World series reflects key concepts and principles of English language teaching and learning.

Children learn through a process of constructing meaning. They are active learners who try to make sense of their world through interaction in personal, social and academic contexts. As they do, they gradually modify their understanding of how both the world and language work.

Activities designed for young learners must provide multiple opportunities for understanding and construction of meaning at a level appropriate to the emotional and intellectual stages of children's development.

Children learn effectively when they are challenged just one step beyond their current stages. of cognitive and language development. They most often need support from a knowledgeable person at this time to successfully understand and incorporate new information.

Goal-oriented learning contributes to young learners' success. In addition to the larger goals of educating children to be responsible global citizens in the 21st century and to be knowledgeable and caring stewards of our planet, providing explicit goals for language learning helps learners understand the purpose of the activities they carry out. Young learners then have the opportunity to compare their outcomes to the original goals, important in judging their own progress.
