This is the first book in the Headway series, but it was published somewhat as an after thought. It really is an excellent book for adults wishing to begin learning English as a foreign language. It presumes no prior knowledge of the language, but it does make use of all those "recent" words such as "radio" or "cassette" that most students are familiar with. It is a very good classroom book, with whole class work as well as small group activities, and the workbook provides useful back-up. PDF version added by Englishcology
Stimulating activities within a graded syllabus. It follows a carefully graded syllabus which allows for recycling of language. A complete comic-strip adventure story runs through each book, featuring ace detective Captain Shadow. This provides a memorable context for new language and maintains motivation.

It gives children a thorough grounding in listening, speaking, reading and writing
Research in the relatively new field of cultural linguistics has implications for second language learning and intercultural communication. This volume is the first of its kind to bring together studies that examine the implications for applied programs of research in these domains. Collectively, the contributions explore the interrelationship between language, culture, and conceptualisations. Each study focuses on a different language-and-culture.

One of the most pressing issues in contemporary European societies is the need to promote integration and social inclusion in the context of rapidly increasing migration. A particular challenge confronting national governments is how to accommodate speakers of an ever-increasing number of languages within what in most cases are still perceived as monolingual indigenous populations.
