The General Aims, Specific aims and the teaching and learning expectations as well as
the core competences of the English Curriculum have fully been immersed.

The books are deliberately written to develop the four main language skills in each learner in a more practical ways.

The methodology for teaching English Language has taken a paradigm shift from the
grammar acquisition base to a more interactive approaches, and all over the world, English Language experts prefer Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Cooperative Language Learning (CLL), Total Physical Response (TPS) and other.

York English grades 1 to 6 use combination of the above approaches to making the
learning of English Language more interesting and fun. Teaching English is not only
being able to let learners read, research has shown that most of our learners even cannot comprehend what they read.

Each level is made up:

• Learner’s book
• Activity book
• Teacher’s book
• Audios for listening and speaking activities

The attitudes and values the English Curriculum seeks to develop in the learners are
fully embedded throughout the lessons. Phonics or phonology are integral part the
English books.

Contents of the York English are taught through Songs, Stories, Poems, Chants,
Reading, Listening, Personalisation of Activities and Role Play. The English Teacher’s
book details complete guide and suggest step-by-step approach to every lesson.

The York English books for Primary Schools have been approved by NaCCA for use in
both public and private schools in Ghana.
