Excursions Student's book 1

Its exciting, colourful style and format - from the cartoon adventures of the 'Sky Gang' to the illustrated 'Explore the Grammar Forest' sections - appeal directly to today's young teenagers. It offers a comprehensive grammatical and functional syllabus, and a clear unit structure which makes it easy to teach. Each level provides approximately 100 hours' work, which can be extended by use of the optional Grammar and Practice Books, or reduced by omission of some of the revision and extension activities. It keeps learners stimulated and active - constantly required to participate and respond, to draw on their own knowledge and experience, to make deductions about language, and to reflect on the way they study. Each unit starts with a page of warm-up activities. The phases of presentation, oral practice, grammar work, and written extension are then clearly presented on separate pages.

Each unit also features a recorded pronunciation exercise in the form of a rap, several pages of integrated skills work based on a wide range of lively topics, and a project, to be carried out in the Workbook. Units end with a 'Language Bank', providing interactive revision of structures, functions, and vocabulary. Regular Consolidation Units ensure systematic revision and allow teachers to check students' progress. At the end of each Student's Book, a lively 'In Transit' magazine provides additional revision and cultural exploration through quizzes, reports, and fascinating facts. Issue 1 focuses on the UK and Issue 2 on the USA.
