Welcome to
My Disney Stars and Heroes!
My Disney Stars and Heroes is a primary course for children aged 6 to 12 that brings together the
engagement of Disney stories, a focus on Future Skills, the Global Scale of English and classroom tools
that make teaching easy.
We have based the course on the following principles:
Engaged children will learn better.
Future Skills are key to children’s development.
Pupils and teachers need to see pedagogical rigour and progress.
Teachers need flexibility.

Social awareness

Teaching with videos
Video is a great tool for conveying information to young learners. A combination of images, movement, colours, sounds, music and
language supports learning at all levels. At the same time, video provides an effective vehicle through which to explore Personal and
Social Skills. My Disney Stars and Heroes offers two Disney video stories per unit at Levels 1 and 2.
Lesson 1 video story When to use the videos
• To present new material. Pupils will not understand all the
language presented in the video, but they will get the meaning
of the pictures, the sounds and the rhythm of the spoken
language. They will remember some phrases, especially those
that are repeated often.
• To review the material. Children have good short-term
memories, but watching the same episode again, two months
after new material was introduced, will considerably stimulate
their memorising ability.
• To consolidate the covered material. The videos include
vocabulary and grammar structures introduced previously and
practised during lessons with the Pupil’s Book.

Video activities
• Ask pupils to guess which items of vocabulary are in the

• Watch the video with the sound muted (silent viewing), and

what is being said, to review key language and support
critical thinking skills.
• After watching the video, place a selection of flashcards on the
board. Ask pupils to remember which of the vocabulary items
were in the video. Watch again and check their ideas.
• Write a sentence from part of the videoscript on the board.

Teaching with stories and story cards
Stories are an essential part of language learning because they allow pupils to absorb information in a fun and stimulating way. Using
stories in the classroom greatly enhances pupils’ motivation, and encourages less confident pupils to contribute their ideas and opinions
because they are not confined to the limits of a certain structure. Stories provide larger chunks of language in context as well as an
opportunity for pupils to produce language, while also providing a springboard for the Personal and Social Skills focus.
Below is a four-stage method for using stories in the classroom that starts with story anticipation and ends with language production.
Stage 1
• Pupils comment on how they would feel or behave if they

Online module Phonics


Each Lesson 5 includes a jump off to an additional online Phonics module, for maximum flexibility depending on your teaching context.
The My Disney Stars and Heroes Phonics lessons use a systematic phonics approach adapted for EFL pupils. The initial sounds of the 26 letters
are introduced in order to familiarise pupils with the English alphabet. Presentation and practice are focused on getting pupils to first identify the
letters of the alphabet and the initial sounds they make, before recognising them in the initial position of simple and familiar words.
The Phonics lessons take the following path:
Warm-up and review (optional)
The suggested warm-up activities in the lesson plans provide
the following review sequence:
1 Review the sounds through a game
2 Review the letters through a game: connecting upper- to
lower-case letters, recalling the alphabet sequence
Present new letter-sounds
Pupils see the letter, and hear the letter name and its initial sound.
Initial practice of new letter-sounds
Pupils identify the letters and try saying the letter-sounds
themselves.
Identification of the letter-sound in the initial
position
Pupils are introduced to key words starting with the specific
letter-sounds for the lesson, then connect the letter-sounds
with words.
Introduction to writing the letters
Pupils learn how to form the letters of the alphabet, then practice
tracing and writing them themselves.

Teaching the Personal and Social Skills
Personal and Social Skills are the transversal skills that go beyond the classroom and are crucial for personal development, active
citizenship and future success. The Myself and others lesson in each unit focuses on a specific skill area under one of the following five
overarching areas that comprise the My Disney Stars and Heroes syllabus:
