Our project started in 2017 with a dream. We were a group of English language education professionals discussing a better way to reach our students. We discussed less grammar teaching, more local context, a larger focus on speaking skills, and working with a descriptive model of language as opposed to a prescriptive one. We identified key areas that we could address in our classrooms in order to help our students succeed. What we were talking about were the ways in which we supplemented and altered the curricula we were currently working with. We realized that there was a gap in the market when we started to share our ideas with other teachers who felt the same and were also having to alter their materials. It was then that we decided to embark on this ambitious project. In the beginning there were just three of us in an office sketching out our ideas on blank pieces of paper and today we are working with a graphic design firm, professional A/V crews, an IT team, and a publishing company. We have learned and developed our ethos and methodology along the way and have included teachers on a learning journey by providing them with ways to reflect on their teaching and develop their skills as teachers. We want to bring you along with us on this journey and we hope that you are as excited as we are to begin.

What makes Less is More Series different
The upcoming Full Circle series is designed to guide students on a skill building journey. As the name suggests, the series is intended to build students’ skills in all areas, from reading and listening comprehension to critical analysis. It emphasises the relationship between all of the skills, rather than separating them from one another.
