Description

Interacting with Texts uses print and non-print resources to develop speaking, reading, listening and writing skills.

Both print and non-print resources are incorporated to provide different authentic contexts for the development of speaking, reading, listening and writing skills. Each book contains eight units, each dealing with a different broad theme. There are four parts to each unit-warm-up, oral and picture discussion, reading comprehension and an optional video section. A wide variety of activities is introduced to enrich the student’s learning experience. Answers, including possible responses for the discussion sections, are provided as a separate insert.
