The Agile Approach
The unique Agile (Applicative and Graded Instruments for Language
Education) approach used in Real English to teach grammar and
vocabulary signals a refreshing departure from the conventional AGILE
practice and assessment methods in textbooks. Core concepts LEARNING
and learning outcomes have been built into individual and group
activities that require learners to interact, explore, visualize, collaborate and share. Many of
these tasks require active educator involvement and moderation besides a variety of props.
Worksheets, charts, game sheets and other printables necessary for the activities, besides step-
by-step instructions to conduct the tasks, have been provided in the teacher’s resource pack. The
Agile approach fulfils the core NEP aspirations of active experiential learning and increased learner
initiative.
