Tailored to suit the needs of adults on intensive English language courses of 60-80 hours, this four-level programme aims to develop speaking, listening and general communicative skills in students at elementary to upper-intermediate level. For each level there are two student's books, which work in parallel: the classbook and the resource book. The classbook concentrates on communicative skills, and develops speaking and listening skills through such activities as games, role-play and projects. The resource book is designed for self-study, containing a summary of the grammar and communicative functions of each unit, writing exercises, and passages for reading and listening.
This book investigates the most effective methods for accelerating English language acquisition for adult learners within intensive, short-term course structures. The authors, a collective of language education specialists, utilize a dual-component pedagogical framework that separates communicative classroom practice from independent study. By balancing interactive speaking and listening exercises with structured grammar and writing modules, the text provides a comprehensive system for students ranging from elementary to upper-intermediate proficiency levels.
What You Will Find
Educators frequently utilize this series for its clear division between classroom-based communicative tasks and independent study requirements. Experts note that the structured, parallel format is particularly effective for intensive programs where time management and skill-specific focus are critical for student progress.
