Spotlight on Football [antikvár]

PrefaceThis is a new series of readers for foreign students of English. It is new in several ways. Firstly, it has been designed as a series rather than an arbitrary group of titles. Secondly, the series provides reading material that is representative of the students' interests and corresponds as far as possible to the books that students would read in their own language. Thus it consists only of informative, entertaining, non-fiction topics. Thirdly, the language used in the readers has been carefully chosen and controlled so as to be easily understandable for students without being childish or patronising in its tone. At the same time each reader introduces a sizeable amount of subject-specific vocabulary which would not normally be included in a simple grading system. This subject-specific vocabulary is carefully explained through text, illustration or glossary so that the student can deal with topics in a more serious and informative way.There are six levels. Level 1 being the simplest and Level 6 the most difficult. Each level introduces circa 350 new headwords and the length of each reader depends on its level (cf. list of titles on facing page).
