Vi lär oss också att använda våra egna röster för att diskutera olika ämnen och åsikter, dela berättelser, ställa frågor och stärka det engelska språket. Årskurs 7 fokuserar på Storbritannien och Irland, i årskurs 8 besöker vi olika delar av Nord- och Centralamerika och i årskurs 9 öppnar vi upp för resten av den engelskspråkiga världen.
Varje årskurs av VOICES består av
