New Horizons for languages

English

¤ A handbook for teachers, assistants and trainers who teach English as a foreign language

- It follows the recommendations of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The approach is action-oriented, and the tasks that are accomplished are carried out through different strategies using the target language.

- It is made up of six units with a cultural focus for each theme. For each level, a series of lessons offers language activities based on the resource materials.

The guide is user-friendly and the structure of the lessons can be seen at a glance. Teaching resources, grammar / vocabulary, tasks, teaching pointers and exercises for students are clearly set out.

¤ A hybrid-CD

- Sound files for access to the language through native speakers, designed for classroom listening on a CD player, computer or mp3.

- Resource materials which are either written texts or visuals.

- Exercises which are available and adaptable for teachers' personal use.
