Open Doors is a communicative course for young teenagers that teaches them how to use language in real situations; it is also a structural course that gives a clear and careful introduction to English grammar. With this dual approach, Open Doors aims to develop vital language skills that will enable students to communicate both fluently and accurately. Open Doors recognizes that in every class there are students with different learning styles and levels of motivation. The course is therefore designed to allow each student not only to enjoy the language learning process, but also to succeed at it, according to his or her individual level of ability and interest.
