The book is ‘designed tor leamars of the English language at Beginner level, and can be used for self-study or in the classroom as a supplement to any course at this level The aim of the book is to help leamers understand basic English grammar structures through comprehensive theory tables and functional examples, accompanied by a wealth of attractive photographs and illustrations, “The book consists of 20 units, each focusing on a particular grammar topic. ‘Atypical unit contains: ‘presentation of the grammar structure by means of visual prompts * simple, concise explanation of the grammar structures ‘+ examples in everyday conversational English, together with a few expressions showing slightly more formal use ‘© exercises practising the new structures, to help leamers use correct, appropriate patterns in everyday situations. ‘© speaking and writing activities to practise the new structures in oral and written form A revision unit folows every five units to consolidate material presented in previous units. Games Section tor students to practise grammar structures taught while having fun, The Picture Flashcards which accompany the book can be used for lively, motivating presentation of the target grammar structures, ‘The book adheres to the principle that every structure should first be heard, then practised in oral and, finally, in written form.
