Z dumą informujemy, że lektura Juanita and her Alpaca z serii Young ELI Readers została zwycięzcą w edycji 2019 konkursu Language Learner Literature Award w kategorii Young Learners. Ogłoszenie zwycięzców miało miejsce w trakcie Piątego Światowego Kongresu Czytania Ekstensywnego, który miał miejsce w tym roku w Tajwanie.

Komentarz do decyzji jury: This is a wonderful story which introduces Peru, the country and its culture in a very interesting way. Not only is the language easy to understand, but also the beautiful photographs wonderfully illustrate Juanita’s daily life in the mountains of Peru. The idea of combining the real information and an illustrated Peruvian legend about the vicuna is brilliant. Readers can enjoy the story and, at the same time, learn factual information. Since this reader also includes an audio CD, children can enjoy it on their own, even if they are not yet fluent readers. This reader would really hold the children’s interest and could easily be used for storytelling, a CLIL lesson, or as part of an extensive reading library.
