Description
A Year in England: Grade 2 is a special reading and learning book that combines Turkish reading practice with the experience of learning English in England within an entertaining story arc. The book allows readers to follow the storyline while practicing English right alongside the main character.
An Entertaining Story and Language Learning Experience
The story follows our hero, Deniz, whose happy life in Turkey changes when his family decides to move to England. For Deniz, who doesn't know any English, even simple everyday activities like playing with friends, watching TV, and shopping turn into a major challenge.
- Realistic language use — the book is neither entirely in Turkish nor entirely in English; all characters think and speak in their native language, just as in real life.
- Exploring together — there is no need to worry for readers who don't speak English; since the main character Deniz doesn't know the language either, the reader gets to discover it along with him.
- Activities woven into the story — as readers follow Deniz's adventures, they learn and practice English by completing exercises seamlessly integrated into the narrative flow.
Deniz's Adventure in England and New School Excitement
While living in Turkey with his family, Deniz receives a letter from his uncle who lives in England. To help his uncle, the family has to move to England for a year. To make matters more challenging, neither Deniz nor his family speaks a single word of English.
- Adapting to a new country — the book portrays Deniz's thrilling journey and his efforts to communicate in a country where no one speaks Turkish.
- Stepping into school life — when it's time for Deniz to start his new school in England, the thought of studying in an environment where no one speaks Turkish keeps him up at night.
- Starting from the basics — the story highlights Deniz's determination to succeed, starting with only a few basic greetings and simple vocabulary words.
- A hidden helper in the backpack — in moments of struggle, a superhero ready to help is always waiting right inside Deniz's backpack.
