Out and About provides students with contextual English language experience through three interactive scenarios based on excursions to the Sydney centre, Manly Beach and a classroom based music lesson. First language support is provided in Arabic, Dari and Dinka to help students make meaning from the text.
A series of interactive language learning activities is also available with each of the stories. The activities are based on the language in the readers, and can be used to develop and or test the student's English language skills.
A set of teachers' notes, including examples of the language structures, vocabulary and suggested teaching strategies for using the stories in the classroom, are available on the CD and can be downloaded for each of the stories.
