The oral component has shifted dramatically toward Stimulus-Based Conversation. Students are shown a picture (e.g., a hawker centre or a library) and must discuss broader issues (e.g., healthy eating or social responsibility).
The PowerUp platform addresses this by:
Lesson A — Note-taking & Summary (50 min)
Lesson B — Interactive Speaking (50 min)
Q1: Is wwwhoddereducationsg poweruplisteningandoral suitable for P4 students?
Yes. While it is designed for Upper Primary (P5-P6) and Secondary 1, high-ability P4 students can use the "Foundation" level tracks to get ahead.
Q2: Does the code expire? Yes. Most codes are valid for 12-24 months from the date of purchase. Check the sticker inside your book. Do not buy a used book unless the code is unused.
Q3: Can I use this on a mobile phone? Absolutely. The portal is mobile-responsive. It works best on tablets (iPad/Android) for the recording studio feature, but phones are fine for listening practice.
Q4: I lost my code. Can I get a new one? Hodder Education usually requires proof of purchase (receipt and a photo of the book). Contact their Singapore customer service directly.
