Language textbooks often prioritise grammar and closed-response activities, but the goal ofTune Up 12th grade was to trust students' ability to not only follow instructions, but also to expand and develop their own ideas and opinions in English. By focusing on themes while giving functional examples of grammar the book encourages students to express themselves individually and recognise their own unique path towards mastering the English language.
Language, at its most basic, is needed for communication and verbal exchange of ideas. Concepts, vocabulary and grammar are irrelevant if they aren't used to effectively express oneself.
