Introduction:
Dear Pupils:
This new English language curriculum, SMILE (Sudan Modern Integrated
Learning of English), is specially tailored to Sudanese pupils in general
education and it is intended to replace the SPINE Curriculum.
The introduction of English language learning in the Intermediate level
grades aims to prepare Sudanese pupils to participate productively in the
21st century. Pupils will become aware of the significance of English as an
international means of knowledge and communication.
The SMILE series is comprised of the following components:
1. A Pupil’s Book.
2. An Activity Book.
3. A Teacher’s Book.
4. CD/ Mp3s.
5. Posters/ Flashcards.
The SMILE series is a pupil-centered, standards-based curriculum. It targets
phonics and makes use of cross-curricular topics and enjoyable learning
activities to motivate younger learners.
The SMILE Curriculum intends to develop a positive attitude towards
English as a foreign language and teaches the four language skills
(listening, speaking, reading and writing).
SMILE textbooks consist of eight units. Every unit has eight lessons.
Lesson 8 is a revision of the previous lessons of the unit. Most units include
two recordings; these are of dialogues, chants and/or stories. Most units also
include a story. Unit 8 revises learning from previous units.
We hope that the SMILE Curriculum will be accessible to pupils, teachers,
supervisors and parents.
With best regards,
The Writers
