This First Certificate course uses a variety of contemporary texts to motivate students. Key vocabulary is highlighted in exercises at the beginning of each unit, enabling students to carry out reading, writing and speaking tasks more effectively and confidently; grammar practice is found in a grammar notes section which provides explanations on areas that students find problematic. Four progress tests provide useful exam practice and revision of the preceding units. Additionally, there are a variety of regular and motivating discussion-based activities designed to encourage students to develop confidence and fluency in their oral skills.
Input Enhancement: From Theory and Research to the Classroom
This new title in the Second Language Professional Series addresses one of the fundamental concepts of current second language acquisition research, input, in the context of its relationship with grammar instruction.
This innovative grammar text is an ideal resource for writers, language students, and current and future classroom teachers who need an accessible "refresher" in a step-by-step guide to essential grammar. Rather than becoming mired in overly detailed linguistic definitions, Nancy Sullivan helps writers and students understand and apply grammatical concepts and develop the skills they need to enhance their own writing. Along with engaging discussions of both contemporary and traditional terminology, Sullivan's text provides clear explanations of the basics of English grammar and a highly practical, hands-on approach to mastering the use of language.
This second edition updates a course which has proven to be a perfect fit for classes the world over. Engaging content and a strong focus on grammar and vocabulary combine to make this course a hit with both teachers and students. The Teacher's Resource Book contains extra photocopiable grammar and communication activities and full pages of teaching tips and ideas specially written by methodology expert, Mario Rinvolucri. A Testmaker Audio CD/CD-ROM which allows teachers to create and edit their own tests is also available separately, as is Classware which integrates the Student's Book, class audio and video.
