Oxford Inspire English Grade 8 is a comprehensive competency-based English course published by Oxford University Press for Class 8 students. Authored by Jacopo D'Andria Ursoleo and Kate Gralton, the course is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern learners while supporting the goals of NEP 2020.
The course develops essential language skills through carefully selected literary and informational texts, engaging classroom activities, collaborative projects, and meaningful assessments. Students strengthen their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills while building grammar accuracy, vocabulary, communication abilities, and critical-thinking competencies.
The textbook is enhanced by the MyInspire App, which offers interactive exercises, audio resources, videos, e-books, quizzes, and digital assessments. Learners can also improve pronunciation and spoken English through Speech Buddy, Oxford’s AI-powered speaking tool that provides real-time feedback and fluency support.
The course promotes creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving through inquiry-based learning, art-integrated projects, and cross-curricular connections. Contextual grammar practice and competency-focused activities help students apply language skills confidently in academic and everyday situations.
