Letter of the authors
In American Inside Out Evolution, meaning is central to everything we ask the students to do. Instead of
basing lessons on invented people in imaginary situations, we present target language in real contexts and
authentic texts. We believe that the richest ‘source of meaning’ in any lesson is what each student brings into
the classroom – their thoughts, ideas, opinions, experiences and feelings. Our materials are therefore designed
to help the teacher exploit this resource and make important and memorable connections between the target
language and the students’ own lives.
In addition to this fundamental core principle, here are three more important beliefs that have guided us in our
teaching and writing over the years:
1. Vocabulary should share centre stage with grammar. Words are the basic building blocks of
any language.
2. Language skills are best acquired through lots of practice. You learn to read by reading; you
learn to speak by speaking etc. Attempts to identify and then practice discrete sub-skills are
not convincing.
3. There can never be enough practice activities!
