Cambridge Global English is an eight-stage course

for learners of English as a Second Language

(ESL). The eight stages range from the beginning

of primary (Stages 1–6) to the end of the � rst two

years of junior secondary (Stages 7–8). It is ideal

for all international ESL learners, and

particularly for those following the Cambridge

Primary/Secondary English as a Second

Language Curriculum Framework, as it has

been written to adhere to this framework. It also

presents realistic listening and reading texts,

writing tasks, and end-of-unit projects similar to

those students might encounter in the context of

a � rst-language school. These elements provide

teachers with the opportunity to tailor the level

of challenge to meet the needs of their particular

students. The course is organised into nine

thematic units of study which include a range

of activities, text types and objectives.

Cambridge Global English materials are aligned

with the Common European Framework of

Reference. The materials re� ect the following

principles:

• An international focus. Speci� cally developed

for young learners throughout the world,

the topics and situations in Cambridge Global

English have been selected to re� ect this

diversity and encourage learning about each

other’s lives through the medium of English.

• An enquiry-based, language-rich approach

to learning. Cambridge Global English engages

children as active, creative learners. At the

same time as participating in a range of

curriculum-based activities, they can acquire

content knowledge, develop critical thinking

skills and practise English language and

literacy.

We hope that learners and teachers enjoy using

Cambridge Global English Stage 4 as much as

we have enjoyed writing it.

Jane Boylan and Claire Medwell

Welcome to Cambridge Global English Stage 4

and writing skills learners will need to be

successful in using English-language

classroom materials.

In addition to this Learner’s Book, Cambridge

Global English Activity Book 4 provides

supplementary support and practice.

Comprehensive support for teachers is available

in Cambridge Global English Teacher’s Resource 4.
