Pedagogical Basis @ Book I, for beginners and post-beginners, is closely based on the vocabulary designated by the Council of Europe for Waystage level. This represents the first stage of a two-stage learning process resulting in a basic general foreign language ability (Threshold level, covered by Book 2 in this series). @ A number of words have also been added from grades | and 2 of the Cambridge English Lexicon (R. Hindmarsh}, based on 4 major frequency counts. @ There are 700 lexical items in this book, allowing the learner to ‘survive’ in an English-speaking context and providing a solid basis for further study. Presentation @ The vocabulary concentrates on the most essential topic areas: personal and family/nouse and home/free time and entertainment/ travel/health/places/shopping etc. @ Each page is highly visual with the words contextualised and their meanings made clear by the illustrations. @ Each game makes demands on the learner's intelligence and imagination and calls for active participation. @ There is built-in revision and recycling of certain lexical items in different contexis. @ The book is suitable 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.How to use this book | Read what to do carefully. 2 Write your answers on a piece of paper or in the book. 3 Look at the back of the book for the answers.
