Collaborating with teachers
              
            
            
              We believe that education is a collaborative process and
            
            
              that we can only achieve the best results if we truly work
            
            
              together, listening and learning from each other.
            
            
              When developing learning resources we have lots of
            
            
              questions in mind: What do classrooms look like now
            
            
              ?
            
            
              How are classrooms changing
            
            
              ?
            
            
              How would teachers like
            
            
              their classrooms to look
            
            
              ?
            
            
              How can we prepare today’s
            
            
              learners for the 21

              century? The solutions we offer are
            
            
              developed for you, with you.
            
            
              We work hard to stay informed about developments at
            
            
              a national and regional level to make sure that our
            
            
              materials meet local requirements and address every
            
            
              user’s needs. We continually revise our publications to
            
            
              ensure that they offer teachers everything they need.
            
            
              
                Students at the centre of education
              
            
            
              The belief that students are at the centre of education
            
            
              informs everything we do. Our educational resources
            
            
              enable learning and facilitate the teacher’s role as a
            
            
              guide in the student’s journey of discovery.
            
            
              
                Education at the centre of society
              
            
            
              Education takes place in many contexts: at school,
            
            
              in the family at home, and in the wider community.
            
            
              Our coursebooks aim to transcend the borders of the
            
            
              classroom. As well as teaching language, they
            
            
              incorporate projects and tasks that address real life,
            
            
              helping students to integrate into society.
            
            
              
                Affirming diversity
              
            
            
              An inclusive educational system provides equal opportunity
            
            
              for all. Oxford coursebook pay particular attention to
            
            
              multiple intelligences, helping students with different
            
            
              learning abilites and backgrounds to achieve success.
            
            
              
                Language learning
              
            
            
              Our aim is for all students to learn to communicate
            
            
              effectively. Oxford materials provide a variety of practical
            
            
              language activities to develop language skills and the
            
            
              ability to use language in functional situations.
            
            
              
                Digital literacy
              
            
            
              The new curriculum stresses the importance of digital
            
            
              literacy and the appropriate use of technology to assist
            
            
              learning. Oxford invests in ongoing research and
            
            
              development of digital media to bring technology into
            
            
              the learning environment where it adds the most value.
            
            
              Students are encouraged to interact with digital content
            
            
              in ways that are both productive and motivational.

              ‘Students are the centre of education and the reason
            
            
              why education exists. Learning at school must
            
            
              be directed towards preparing autonomous,
            
            
              critically-minded people, capable of thinking
            
            
              for themselves.’
