note to teachers
The units follow a familiar pattern of practising at both the sentence and text
levels. This is done through MCQs or choosing the correct word in sentences,
and exercises using cloze texts so that students can focus on the language itself
and not be distracted by varying methods and instructions.
Since each unit deals with a precise grammar item teachers are encouraged to
'dip into' the books at any stage to support the language item being taught in the
classroom. This way, these practice books complement the school English
lessons.
The authors strongly believe that, while the English language is the focus, the
context should be meaningful to the learners. Thus, texts have been chosen :
~~ to be fun: the texts include especially written stories, traditional folk and
fairy stories , quizzes and dialogues that the students could act out.
Finally, in the knowledge that teachers are busy people, the series has been
designed to be 'teacher friendly' so it is unambiguous and easy to use.
