Wordpower presents and activates a lexical set or semantic field related to the topic of the unit. At the same time it introduces a variety of strategies for organizing and learning vocabulary effectively. It has two stages: introduction of topic-related vocabulary and a follow-up practice activity. Skill focus has longer listening and reading texts, which provide exposure to the target grammar of the unit and develop listening, speaking, and reading skills. It has three stages: a preview to introduce and stimulate interest in the topic, a task (s) to complete while reading or listening, and follow-up. Focus on functions presents and practices basic key phrases which professionals need for socializing. There are two main stages: a range of possible exponents for students to identify, and controlled and then freer role-play. |
