Description
Quest is a six-level primary series first published for Spain. It is aimed at children who have little or no previous knowledge of English. The course was developed with the aim of establishing a new approach to primary courses. Therefore, the course remains story-based for Levels 1 and 2, but moves towards being content based in upper levels, with levels 5 and 6 using stories more overlty as a means of exploring content, and cultural values are much more topic based in those higher levels. The course contains a strong CLIL element right from the start and there is also a constant focus on phonics throughout the course. The course was felt suitable for adaptation to meet the needs of some international markets, but for that to be successful various fundamental changes have had to be made to Levels 1 and 2. The International version of Quest has no reading/writing requirement in Level 1 and a reduced requirement in Level 2, starting a third of the way into the book.
