The Ateneo University Press is updating their Language textbook series with the release of the revised edition of “Experiencing English.” This edition incorporates changes in the way English is taught in Filipino schools–from emphasizing grammar to building communicative skills.

Mary Anne Agustin of the Press notes that “…While the revised edition remains committed to this goal, some changes have improved the series as a whole:

1. The Note to Parents that explains the unique concept underlying the series includes tips for using the book so that parents and other adults can better help in their children’s learning process;

2. Each lesson, although creatively and nontraditionally presented, has a grammar focus which is clearly stated in the
Table of Contents section of every book;

3. The materials cut across subject matters significant and relevant to the pupils’ daily lives, such as history, current events, ecology, community life, and science. They have benefited from insights and suggestions of teachers, educators, education consultants, and parents who have read and used the first edition;

4. The Teacher’s Manual contains more exercises and drills that will help teachers impart lessons more productively;

5. The cost of the whole set (from Prep to Grade 6) is only 1,245 pesos.”

Ateneo University Press is offering a free training seminar for teachers and English coordinators in order to facilitate a profitable use of the textbook series.

For inquiries, please contact the Press at (632) 426-6001 loc. 4610.
