Open Doors Tests - all levels 1-2-3
A communicative, three-part course for young teenagers with a clear, structural approach and an emphasis on student involvement.
It has a clear, systematic approach and a balanced syllabus which
ensures thorough coverage of grammar, functional language, vocabulary,
and pronunciation together with development of all four language
skills.
It helps with the problem of mixed-ability classes. At the back of
the Student's Book are six optional projects which students can work on
at their own pace, and two optional stories with exercises. Optional
photocopiable activities in the Teacher's Book also provide extra
material for stronger students.
It is designed to appeal to teenage students, with lively, relevant material and enjoyable activities.
New language is introduced through a motivating photostory featuring a group of British teenagers in real everyday situations.
Each unit contains: a clear and colourful 'Grammar' section where
new grammar is introduced in manageable chunks and given systematic
practice; a 'Vocabulary' page with careful presentation and practice of
useful word sets; a 'Communication' section which allows students to
use the language in controlled dialogues which often relate to their
own lives and interests; and a 'Skills' section which draws on
interesting and motivating topics to develop all four language skills.
An 'English across the Curriculum' section in each unit encourages
students to use their English to talk about a wide variety of topics,
from music and sports to science and nature.
A 'Progress Diary' at the end of each unit, and regular 'Study
Skills' sections encourage learner independence and provide useful
learner training.
The last activity in each unit is a song or chant.
The first two levels are available in practical and self-contained split editions.
Mayan and Aztec Mythology
Compared to the ancient Greeks and Romans, the Mayan and Aztec civilizations seem modern. Still, their mythological tales are rooted in a long history and offer a glimpse into the colorful and violent Mayan and Aztec traditions. Each myth is followed by a Question and Answer section which covers themes, symbols, and characters; and an Expert Commentary section, which makes for great discussion. Brilliant illustrations help the stories come to life.
