Elementary school English classes focus on teaching language skills that form the basis of communication, cultivating students' ability to understand and express basic English used in everyday life.
Initially, the focus should be on oral language education, such as speaking, but written language should also be taught in a balanced way to develop.
This book is well-organized and systematic in its educational materials to achieve the goals of elementary English education.

To keep young students new to English interested in learning, educational materials that utilize a variety of multimedia, live materials, stories, activities, and games, along with new teaching methods, are needed.
Additionally, we must actively utilize edutech and digital teaching and learning tools for guidance.
In response to these educational needs, this book specifically proposes principles for organizing elementary English textbooks, teaching syllabi, curriculum, production, adaptation, and utilization of various educational materials, evaluation, and understanding and efficient teaching methods for the English learning process according to learner styles.

Revised to the 6th edition in March 2023.
