Each level of Headway provides approximately 120 hours of teaching. Key features of Headway Elementary include:
- Detailed treatment of grammar in two stages: at the beginning of each unit, where it is introduced and
practised in a variety of activities, and then in the Grammar Summary at the end of each unit, which is
suitable for self-study and revision.
- Systematic vocabulary work with dictionary training.
- Skills work sections for further extension and fluency work.
- Integrated pronunciation work.
- An Everyday English section which practises common expressions in everyday situations.
- A self-check revision section.
This Teacher's Book gives the rationale behind the methodological approach of the course and provides extensive guidance on using the material. It also includes background information, guidance on pronunciation, extra teaching ideas, photocopiable activities, and tests.
