"eQuest" comprises unique software and detailed teacher's notes that have been specifically designed to support the teaching of the QCA Speaking and Listening objectives. "eQuest" provides non-linear texts designed to enable children to make choices together, as a group, and learn in the context of their normal classwork. "eQuest" is a resource that uses motivating software and an engrossing story to engage children in problem-solving, group work activities. "eQuest" is composed of one CD-ROM for each year group, each one containing 3 missions - one mission per term. "eQuest" missions each provide work for 10 sessions (2 weeks to 10 weeks work). Each mission supports the teacher in delivering the QCA Speaking and Listening objectives for that term. Each mission is linked to the NLS Medium Term Plans targetting key text and sentence level objectives. Each mission is linked to the QCA Schemes of Work for History, and Geography and Science. It links to "Oxford English Quest" and "Oxford English Voyage".
