My words is aimed at developing students’ understanding of the English language and to use it with authority & confidence.The text is topical, the format contemporary, and the activities designed to engage students so they learn the skills they need to make effective and successful use of English, from word through to text level, both within school and beyond.
Texts of different types and formats provide the basis for reading activities in each unit. These texts have been selected to stimulate student interest in and learning from both the texts themselves and the language and/or visual features thay display. Aspects of language including grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary are also treated explicitly and systematically in each unit. Each unit also features writing and talking and listening activities as well as additional activities that will extend and challenge the learner.
A number of tests are included. These can provide tools for assessment and diagnosis as well as a means to recognising achievement and learning.
