Description:These
books were developed in the Czech Republic over a period of 8 years while
teaching. The work has been used by over 1000 students, and constantly
revised to fit the students' needs. This is very much of a conversational
approach, using whole sentences, and the grammar taught is illustrated
and learned by oral practice. The teacher guides provide many interesting
and entertaining activities for the students to enjoy, because we believe
that students learn best when they are smiling. Rhere are also many exercises
and tests. All of the questions in the student books and guides have answers
in the guides.
Features of the series
This is a step by step approach. Each
concept is explained, practiced by doing exercises, practiced by doing
oral questions and activities before the next is introduced.
By working in real life situations (and
often humourous ones), in their activities, the students learn to speak
English.
