The final Bachillerato exam and the University Entrance Exam are the key to success in this stage of students’ learning, but education goes beyond the classroom and exams. This is the idea behind Out & About – to create a course which gives solid language development for the exams but also helps to prepare students for real life, for the world in which they will live once all the exams are over.
The course addresses the growing need for a more balanced approach to the skills, with more opportunities for listening and speaking within each lesson without forgetting the essential aim of Bachillerato courses. Special ‘Life Skill’ sections are also included to make the process of language learning relevant to the real world, beyond the need to pass exams.
