A four book series for A1 and A2 lower-secondary learners which was awarded the British Council ELTon Award for Excellence in Course Innovation, and ELTons Judges’ Commendation for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in 2021. I was involved in the project from its inception, designing the scope and sequence and writing the lessons with my co-author Bruno Andrade.
Arts, social media, English as additional language, our own first language… these are only some of OUR LANGUAGES – the ones we use to communicate and act upon the world. ‘Our Languages’ is a 4-level series for teenagers organised into different ‘languages’ (arts, social media, news, intervention) that act as starting points for critical discussions that frame learning English in a contemporary, critical citizenship way.
Its unique design – created by renowned urban artist Alexandre Orion – invites students to ‘own’ their textbooks as they learn, in a process of redesigning their experience with learning English. It also accompanies exclusive digital features, such as an interactive cover, multimedia content and an interactive workbook. Come and discover your special voice with Our Languages!
“Distinct look and feel, radical design and content, total inclusivity from a new perspective in publishing. Genuinely different.”

Transfor.Me Kids consists of 5 Levels, each with 32 sessions intended for Elementary School students from grades 1 through 5. The books are divided into 4 projects that last over 8 sessions and contain all the elements that the FutureWE community has categorised as being needed for success in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
The projects per book provide learners with meaningful contexts to develop knowledge and skills across different content areas. They have been designed and structured to provide opportunities for the students to learn and work collaboratively and find solutions to problems that affect their everyday lives.
