Pedagogical Basis • Book 2, for post-beginners, is closely based on the vocabulary designated by the Council of Europe for Threshold level, which represents a level of general language ability. A number of words have also been added from grades 2 and 3 of the Cambridge English Lexicon (R. Hindmarsh), based on 4 major frequency counts. There are over 1,000 lexical items in this book, allowing the learner to deal with most everyday situations and providing a sound basis for further study. Presentation The vocabulary concentrates on essential topic areas: personal identification, trade and occupation, entertainment, travel, health and welfare, education, food and drink, services etc. The games provide an introduction to language forms: word building, prepositional phrases, abbreviations, punctuation etc. Each page is highly visual. The words are contextualised and illustrations help to make the meanings clear. • Each game calls for the learner's active participation. • There is built-in revision and recycling of certain lexical items in different contexts. • The book is suitable for all ages, for teaching and testing, for class and group work and for varied further exploitation. • There is a full answer key and word list enabling the book to be used also for self-study and revision.
