Entry 1 Skills for Life ESOL Student Workbook is the first level in a series of five for new arrivals in the UK wishing to study English. (Note: do not be confused by the illogical naming of the level by the DfES!)
It is an adult course that takes students from beginner/starter level to point eqivalent to a GCSE in English.
The course is designed to help new arrivals in the UK learn
communicative English as quickly as possible. I focusses on real life
scenarios for those living in the UK. It thus contains a lot of
material and subjects not normally covered in general English
coursebooks.
It is written and produced by the UK Department of Education and Skills (DfES).
Longman Proficiency Skills is a coursebook which provides systematic and enjoyable preparation for all five papers of the Certificate of Proficiency in English examination. It is a little bit outdated, but it is stll efficient.
Hot Topics is guaranteed to engage readers, stimulate thinking, and provoke conversation while developing vocabulary and reading skills. The controversial topics explored in the text all have more than one side to them, thus encouraging debate and classroom interaction.
Three readings per chapter explore the same hot topic from different points of view. The readings in each chapter vary by genre and increase in difficulty to support reading development. A focus on reading skills and reading comprehension through pre-reading questions, skimming and scanning activities, the use of context clues, vocabulary analysis, and the development of critical thinking skills helps students increase their reading fluency. Open-ended questions at the end of every chapter
