Each level covers the following learning areas: listening, reading, speaking and
grammar. Within each learning area there are a range of online tools designed to
provide students with the pedagogical support needed to effectively and independently
work in that learning area; for example, the audio version of written texts, the
translation option, the dictionary, and the visual aids.
Listening
The listening section is designed to enhance students¡¯ comprehension of aural
input through exposure to a variety of listening segments (video clips, television
shows, radio programs, voicemail messages, etc.).
Reading
The reading section is designed to expose students to different text types (stories,
ads, letters, postcards and articles) with emphasis on reading strategies: guessing
words from context identifying main idea, keywords, etc.
Speaking
The Speaking section consists of real life dialogues set in everyday situations,
with an emphasis on functional language for daily use.
Grammar
The Grammar section introduces the grammatical structures in context and provides
practice in them. Animated, humorous examples illustrate the use of the grammatical
structures and facilitate their acquisition. Explanations and examples are also
provided.
