Book excerpt: It features an innovative, topic-based syllabus in which authentic content provides both a context for meaningful language work and a basis for the exploration of interesting adult topics. The presentation and practice of new language in a topical context focuses on the meaning and usage of target structures. There is integrated and systematic practice of all four language skills. Students have multiple opportunities to recycle previously studied language structures and vocabulary. Meaningful pair, small-group, and whole-class activities get students to draw on their own opinions, knowledge and experiences. The development of critical thinking skills encourage students to think in English. Important conversation management strategies help students to get the information they need and to keep a conversation going.
