Way to go! is a six-level secondary school series aimed at grades 6 to 11 for schools that
teach between three and five hours of English per week. The main purpose of the series is to
create an appealing and enjoyable environment in which students can develop their English,
not only in terms of grammar, but also at a communicative level. This series takes into
account the guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education in terms of the Basic Learning
Rights and the suggested English curriculum for Colombian schools, and also incorporates
modern and innovative conceptual developments in the discipline of teaching and learning
languages at a global as well as a national level.
Objectives and Characteristics
Way to go! has been carefully designed to establish a foundation for students to engage
in English learning by concentrating on communication. It provides them with the skills
needed to be able to communicate effectively with native and non-native speakers of
the English language, while helping students to use the language as an instrument of
interpersonal communication that helps them to represent, interpret and understand the
world. The objective of this material is to guide students to achieve the following expected
levels based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) within 180 class
hours in the school year:
• Sixth grade: Level A1
• Seventh grade: Level A2.1
• Eighth grade: Level A2.2
• Ninth grade: Level B1.1
• Tenth grade: Level B1.2
