The syllabus/outline below was taken from the Dino On the Go! textbook published by Han Lin 翰林出版. Other textbook series will vary, but given the government-mandated curriculum they won't vary much.
Kids in Taiwanese elementary schools have English class at least twice a week. Each unit would be completed in about a month's time, adding up to the four months that comprise a semester.
The English textbooks start at #1 in grade three, and the numbers advance each semester. This means that book #2 is for the second semester of grade three, book #3 is for the first semester of grade four, etc. The numbers for other subject textbooks (i.e. "Social Studies 社會 3 上") reflect the actual grade level, and use a 上 or 下 to indicate the semester.
