Beautiful photography, captivating videos and intriguing topics encourage young learners to explore the world and expand their horizons as they learn English.

Engage in meaningful projects: Promote active learning, develop creative thinking and consolidate children’s subject knowledge and language skills.
Meaningful language for conversation at school and beyond with CLIL: Guess What! supports language production by providing tools for interpersonal and academic communication, focusing on BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills) and CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) using functional mini-dialogues, 'Talk time', and teaching natural conversation skills in English.
Develop social skills for success in life: Stories are a powerful vehicle to stimulate children's imaginations and to illustrate social values. The adventure stories in Guess What! prepare children for success in life by teaching them collaboration, communication, responsibility and respect towards others and the world.
Tap into natural curiosity and spark interest: Children are full of questions and naturally curious about the world around them. Through the power of beautiful photography in the Unit openers and Content lessons Guess What! taps into this curiosity and sparks interest in topics from across the curriculum. Captivate learners' attention with video featuring fascinating parts of our world, presented by young, dynamic presenters.
Build confidence with every lesson: Guess What! presents language in clear, manageable chunks, making the activities challenging but achievable. Improve pronunciation and spelling with the ‘Say it’ sections, focusing on sounds of English and the relation between the sounds and letters. There’s plenty of practice, recycling and revision opportunities reinforce key language and skills. Each lesson in the Pupil’s Book is reinforced by activities in the Activity Book and online practice, and there is a revision spread every two units.
Improve proficiency across subjects: Research shows that teaching language and content improves learners’ proficiency, but what do we actually mean by ‘content’, how can we motivate students to learn it and why is it important to teach it to young learners? Content lessons in Guess What!, supported by documentaries showing some of the most interesting parts of our world, improve proficiency across content areas as well as listening skills. The content syllabus of Guess What! is selected from common subjects in the primary curricula and age-appropriate topics. The syllabus builds on previous levels to systematically develop children’s knowledge and subject skills in English.
