Headway - Pre-Intermediate - Teacher's Book [antikvár]

IntroductionDescription of the courseHeadway Pre-lntermediate is part of the Headway series, a comprehensive course for adults and young adults learning English in their own country and in the United Kingdom. Headway Intermediate can be used as a third-year book; Headway Upper-Intermediate leads up to the level of the Cambridge First Certificate examination; Headway Advanced is a post-First Certificate book which leads up to the level of the Cambridge Proficiency examination. Headway Pre-lntermediate precedes the first, and it is expected that students will have completed either one or two course books prior to starting this one.The aims of the course are to encourage students to analyse the systems of language in use, to expose them to a variety of challenging and interesting text-types in the listening and reading activities, and to stimulate them to give their own opinions and participate in disóussions and roleplays.Headway is a revision and extension course which provides a thorough coverage of the grammatical and lexical systems of English, combined with extensive practice of the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing.Headway Pre-lntermediate provides approximately 120 hours' work, that is, eight hours per unit. This has to remain a somewhat artificial calculation, as teachers always expand activities or cut them short to meet the interests and needs of their students, and to fit in with the constrictions imposed by their timetable. The Workbook is an important component for use in the classroom and at home. It contains further practice of the language areas dealt with in the Student's Book, extra related input, and a writing syllabus.Organization of the Student's BookEach unit of Headway Pre-lntermediate has the following components:PRESENTATION SECTIONThe target language is shown in a natural context.Grammar questionsStudents are guided to an understanding of the target language, and invited to work rules out for themselves.PRACTICEThere are speaking, listening, writing, and grammar exercises to consolidate the target language.Language reviewThe essential rules of form and use are given, and students are asked to translate sample sentences.
