Its key features are:
- A loopback syllabus. The course incorporates extensive recycling and revision of
language, ensuring that what is studied is learnt, remembered and easily recalled
when needed.
- A grammar-based analytical approach. Grammar is treated as a problem-solving
activity and students are treated as thinkers who are guided to work out the rules of
grammar for themselves. A clear and comprehensive Grammar reference section is
provided for reinforcement.
- Skills work. All the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are
covered.
- Project work. Through project work students are given the opportunity to talk and
write about their life and to relate language to their own experience and aspirations.
- Cross-cultural and cross-curricular studies. Students are encouraged to compare their
own language and culture to that of English and the world of English speakers.
Topics from other school subjects are introduced to integrate language studies with
other subjects in the curriculum.
- Learner training. Through a variety of activities including the learning to learn
sections, a learning diary, self-checks and project work students are guided towards
good learning strategies and encouraged to accept responsibility for their own
learning.
