Class 10 English First Flight NCERT
First Flight, a textbook in English for Class X, is based on the new syllabus in English which was prepared as a follow-up to the National Curriculum Framework, 2005. The English curriculum lays emphasis on providing a variety of rich, comprehensible inputs to learners to enable their engagement in learning; and on recognising the multilinguality of everyday experience in India.
This textbook aims at helping the learner to read for meaning in context, thus providing a bank of language to serve as a base for communication in English.
