Inside a course
Lessons, practice and vocabulary, as students see them
Real screens from our newest courses: the lessons, the practice and the daily vocabulary game.
Curriculum
More than 60 courses, from Pre-A1 to C1
Each course follows a set scope and sequence, with lessons organised by skill, such as grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing. In the Adults, Youth and Kids tracks, every unit opens with a lesson on its objectives.
Our approach
A communicative curriculum, grounded in research
Smrt English courses follow communicative language teaching. In every unit, students use English with a partner or a small group, teachers scaffold each step, and lessons draw on authentic listening and reading. Every level develops the same four competences.
Linguistic competence
Vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar: the words and rules students need to form accurate sentences.
Textual competence
Managing longer speech and writing, with cohesion, discourse markers and conversational turns.
Sociocultural competence
Using English appropriately: politeness, register and the norms of different situations.
Functional competence
Using language to get things done, such as requesting, offering and inviting.

Where Smrt fits
How Smrt English compares with lesson libraries and publishers
Lesson libraries supply materials but leave planning, marking and reporting to the school. Publishers supply complete courses, one book per student. Smrt English sits in between: a complete curriculum, with the platform to teach, assess and report on it.
