Content is organized within 12 thematic units, from Everyday Language, to People, to Housing, to Food, to Recreation. Each unit starts withan 'Intro' page (new for this edition) and ends with a story page,with single or double-page sub-topics introducing new words in arealistic visual context and easy-to-learn 'chunks'. The target newvocabulary is listed, and simple practice activities help students toput their new words into practice. Story pages include pre-readingquestions to build previewing and predicting skills, and post-readingquestions and role-play activities to support critical thinking and to encourage students to use the new language they have learned. Richvisual contexts recycle words from the unit.
This structure is designed to address the needs of multilevelclassrooms, with much more guidance on this and on assessing needs and lesson-planning given in the supporting components.
