Theme 1: People and lifestyle: Identity and relationships with others, Healthy living and lifestyle, Education and work, (Foundation and higher).
infoWhy this? Exploring identity, relationships, health, education, and work gives us the language to explain who we are, understand others, and discuss choices that shape everyday life. Accurate verb forms, adjective agreement, comparisons, and sound–spelling links make personal communication clearer and more confident.
scheduleWhy now? Beginning with familiar personal contexts provides accessible starting points for communication while establishing language that recurs throughout the course. Securing descriptions, questions, and present-tense fluency here supports the broader cultural discussions and accounts of past experiences and future plans developed in subsequent units.
