This volume is part of a four-stage American English course for secondary students. Based on a structural syllabus, it takes students from beginning to pre-intermediate level. The student books in the series focus on listening and speaking skills and contain 34 lessons, with extra exercises at the end of each unit. At the top of each page, new language is highlighted so that both students and teachers can see what the target of each lesson is. The exercises and activities provided are guided and task-based. The first two student books are set in a West Coast high school, aiming to give pupils a feeling for the lives of their US counterparts. The last two have a greater focus on reading and factual knowledge. - from Amzon
