Description
The National Curriculum Frameworks (2022 and 2023) recognise English as an important language for communication, learning and global engagement. They envision learners who can listen attentively, read with understanding, speak confidently and write independently. Burlington English BOOST, a graded English language course for Classes 1–8, is designed to support this vision through a simple, engaging and competency-based approach to language learning.
Burlington English BOOST integrates theme-based learning, rich literary texts and familiar Indian contexts with a global outlook to develop reading, listening, speaking and writing in a natural and connected way. It carefully scaffolds lessons, integrating reading, listening, speaking and writing. This makes English enjoyable to learn, easier to teach and accessible to every learner. The course is thoughtfully supplemented by project- and activity-based learning, along with comprehensive print and digital support.
