							| Syllabus 
 |  
							| I teach kids of different ages, we don�t use a text book as I work in an Academy (we use written material such as readings and worksheets, we encourage the kids to speak in English as much as possible and use a lot of games and songs), my question is, do you know of any sites where I can get an idea of what children, depending on age and level, are supposed to learn, it would be great to know structures, verb tenses, vocabulary...etc, they are to know. Thanks in advance for your help. |  29 Nov 2009

							| You should look for you countries national curriculum  and then for the English syllabus. When I visit the site of the Portuguese Ministry of Education, there �s an option with the syllabus of all subjects in the Curriculum. Have a nice day. mena |  29 Nov 2009

							| The oxford website allows you to look at the contents pages of most of their books, these tell you what grammar and vocabulary children and adults learn at different levels. 
 The levels (usually) go 
 beginner elementary pre-intermediate intermediate upper-intermediate advanced

							| Check also the WIDA website - http://www.wida.us/standards/elp.aspx The above are the US standards that I must adhere to, but you might use their ideas. Good Luck!
