Having a legacy of more than three decades, New Oxford Modern English (NOME) has established itself as one of the most popular and well-received ELT courses among both teachers and learners. First published in 1987, the course has undergone regular revisions, always taking into account the insightful feedback from its long-term users, to address the evolving needs of learners. Infused with energy, humour and enjoyment, and providing a fulfilling learning experience, NOME is one of the best-selling ELT titles in India. This edition of NOME addresses the four spheres of learning: functional language skills, literary language skills, promotion of values and dispositions, and themes that cut across diversity in keeping with the spirit of the National Curriculum Framework, 2023. It achieves this while combining joyful and experiential learning pedagogies in a graded manner.
