Features
The same lesson structure is adopted in all units. However, the contents of each unit are unique, rich, meaningful and interesting. There is visual and audio input at the beginning followed by a brief reading exercise and speaking practice. The role play dialogues are written by an experienced linguist. In class, students get the change to listen to their own recorded voices, locate their weaknesses and improve accordingly throughout the course. The target lexis is consolidated by sentence construction, gap filling and verb tense practice.
