Soars John, Soars Liz. — 3rd edition. — Oxford University Press, 1999.A well-defined vocabulary syllabus concentrates on three key areas: learning new words in lexical sets; acquiring good habits for learning vocabulary; and developing vocabulary 'systems' such as sound and spelling relationships.
Integrated skills work is an important feature of the course. In every unit the reading and listening activities contextualize and bring together much previously introduced language. The choice of interesting texts, together with manageable, motivating tasks ensure students develop fluency and accuracy in all four skills.
Supportive Teacher's Books at each level include an explanation of the methodology, step-by-step lesson guidance, additional activities, photocopiable tests, cultural notes, and detailed answer keys.
Teacher's Resource Books provide photocopiable games and activities to supplement the main course materials.
Workbooks at each level offer a range of exercises to revise and extend the grammar and vocabulary covered in the * Student's Book, plus extra related input where appropriate.
There is high-quality, integrated support and supplementary material at various levels, including: New Headway Pronunciation Course, Making Headway, Headway Videos, and New Headway English Course Interactive Practice CD-ROM.
