Your College Experience: Strategies for Success, 9th Edition

Written by the leading authorities on the first-year seminar and grounded in research, Your College Experience offers students practical help in making the transition to college and getting the most out of their time there.

Beep is a new six-level primary course based on the guiding principle that the contexts and situations where learners encounter English should be meaningful and relevant to them so that they draw on their own words, both real and imaginary. The units are clearly and simply structured and are divided equally between theory and fun practice. In addition to activities such as surveys, pair work and personalised writing, Beep gives students the chance to enjoy the learning experience through songs, chants, stories and games. It also ensures that the material caters for many different learning styles and levels of ability.

The emotions a character feels--Hamlet's vengefulness when he realizes his uncle has killed his father, Anna Karenina's despair when she feels she can longer sustain her life, Marcel's joy when he tastes a piece of madeleine cake--are vital aspects of the experience of fiction.

If we didn't ourselves experience emotions, we wouldn't go to the play, or watch the film, or read the book.
