Frequently-asked questions

Q: How does this edition fulfil the latest requirement from EDB on Primary English curriculum?

A: The 2025 Education Bureau primary English curriculum emphasises Reading across the Curriculum (RaC) and cross-curricular reading for learning. It also boosts e-learning and information literacy to foster self-directed, critical readers; expands Assessment as Learning (AaL) alongside Assessment for Learning (AfL); and strengthens values education, including positive attitudes, national identity, and national security awareness.

Primary Longman Express (3rd Edition) integrates all these curriculum requirements across the coursebook, digital components and supporting resources. Contact us and our sales team will walk you through the details.

Q: What resources are available to support Values Education in this new edition?

A: This edition weaves EDB values education into the reading passages and provides practical ideas for carrying learning into daily life, helping students grow into well-rounded individuals. There are also resources to support teaching in the classroom and learning such as PowerPoints and worksheets.

Q: Are there National Security Education (NSE) elements in the Student Book?

A: There is a dedicated NSE section in each book, making Primary Longman Express (3rd Edition) the first EDB-approved series with clearly signposted NSE elements.

*Based on the EDB Recommended Textbook List

Q: What resources do you offer to support learner diversity?

A: We offer lesson-recap videos adapted from classroom PowerPoint slides to support students who need extra review after school. Our worksheets are available at multiple levels to cater for learner diversity, including students with special educational needs. Our supplementary workbooks have been upgraded with stronger scaffolding, and challenging questions are clearly signposted so teachers can differentiate and make adaptations as needed.

Q: Do you offer elements or resources to develop higher-order thinking skills?

A: We provide integrated support for higher-order thinking through HOT-questions in every unit, helping students develop critical, logical, reflective, metacognitive, and creative skills, alongside positive values and attitudes.
