Author Description

TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS In our opinion, the object of every English class for speakers of other languages should be the use of the language in everyday situations. That's why we try to build up a useful vocabulary within a certain number of grammar patterns. The language should be used—and used in a meaningful way. Students should learn to express their opinions and feelings, to give and receive information, to say what they mean. It is essential that students take a very active part in the learning. We think they should work together often in pairs, or in bigger groups. They should also feel that they are making constant progress in their studies. Accordingly, the first tasks in each unit are easy, but grow harder as the book continues. Throughout the book, students can test themselves and experience the pleasure of personal growth and progress. We hope you will find the New Horizons in English series an effective and fun way to learn and use the English language. Lars Mellgren Michael Walker
