En savoir plus sur le livre

This series of 16 books for adults covers the four skill areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing at four levels: elementary, intermediate, upper-intermediate, and advanced. The series maintains the traditional division of language use into the four skills, but they are never treated in isolation. In each book, the skill being dealt with serves as the focus of attention and is always interwoven with, and supported by, other skills. The materials are intended to be creative, presenting students with motivating content; fluency-focused, bringing in accuracy work only as necessary for completing an activity; task-based and focused on problem-solving, motivating students to use language actively and practically, while relating tasks to their own experiences. The series can be used as a supplement to a core course book for extra practice and also as modular course material, offering teachers flexibility. Each book contains, where appropriate, teacher's notes, a key, and the text of the recordings. All the listening and some of the speaking books have accompanying cassettes.
