Signpost is a unique visual approach to communicative English for junior high school students. It is designed to complement the material in the required English texts while decreasing the students’ dependency on the written word.

Key Features of Signpost

Graphic representation of the language and intensive aural guidance develops cognitive abilities to use English.

Initial language introduction replicates the natural way in which the students’ first language is acquired.

Non-verbal responses to English remove the initial fear created when producing language too early in the learning stage.

Language is introduced as lexical items or language chunks, with emphasis placed on pronunciation and understanding.

Communicative student-to-student and student-to-teacher activities keep interest and motivation high.

Comprehensive Teacher’s Guide includes introductions, explanations, step-by-step instructions, supplemental activities and extension ideas.

Supplemental materials and activities in Teacher’s Guide ensures sufficient material for classes meeting up to 3 times per week.
