"The book emphasizes the importance of always being aware of one’s purpose for communication and one’s audience. It provides discussion topics of local and international importance always in the context of a specific purpose and a specific audience, not in the abstract. It uses different classroom arrangements, e.g., teacher facing the class and discussing with the whole class, students doing pair work and group work, role-playing, simulations, and viewing online materials. It uses different modalities, written texts, audio-recordings, and videos. It goes with a teacher’s manual accessed online which includes teaching tips, answer keys, and rubrics for making written and oral outputs. The textbook has perforated pages for students to submit to their teachers. And each unit makes use of all the skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing, critical thinking, and viewing. Each unit is independent of the other units, but there is a recommended sequence especially for three units which are introductory in nature."--Back cover.
