General English Courses in 7 Levels
English courses are based on the "New Interchange"
and "Passages" books, which are a multi-level
courses in English as a Second or Foreign Language for young adults
and adults.
General English Levels 1 to Level 4 are based on the "New
Interchange" books series.
New Interchange features high-interest topics, a focus on both
accuracy and fluency, and a multi-skills syllabus integrating
themes, structures, functions, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
The underlying philosophy of the course is that language is best
learned when used for meaningful communication. New Interchange
is written in American English, but reflects the fact that English
is the major language of International communication, and is not
limited to any one country, region, or culture. The course includes:
- An integrated multi-skills syllabus
- Contemporary, real-world topics
- Conversational language
- Grammar in communicative contexts
- Natural recordings with a variety of accents
- Task-based listening activities
- Opportunities to share opinions and ideas
- Student-centered fluency activities
- A thorough treatment of pronunciation
- Vocabulary-building exercises
- High-interest reading passages
- Review units at regular intervals
General English Level 5 and Level 6 are based on the "Passages"
book series.
"Passages" is a two-level multi-skills
course for upper-intermediate to advanced-level students of North
American English. It provides an ideal follow-up for students
who have completed a beginning to intermediate course, and is
carefully coordinated to function as a sequel to "New
Interchange". Tapes are for use in the classroom
or laboratory.
The course covers the four skills of listening, speaking, reading,
and writing, while giving systematic attention to grammar and
vocabulary. "Passages" seeks to develop
both fluency and accuracy in English through a topic-based syllabus.
The topics are of high interest to students and provide maximum
opportunities for personalization and discussion, promoting the
development of both linguistic and communication skills. The course
is based on the assumption that students have studied English
for a number of years and have a good foundation in general language
skills and need to extend their communicative competence by developing
their ability to:
- Expand the range of topics they can discuss and comprehend in
English
- Extend their knowledge and use of grammar
- Broaden their knowledge and use of vocabulary
- Speak English fluently, i. e. express a wide range of ideas
without unnecessary pauses or breakdowns in communication
- Speak English accurately, i. e., use an acceptable standard
of pronunciation and grammar when communicating
