Basically each book consists of two-page units: on the lefthand page a passage of from 50 to 350 words depending on the stage, followed by short guided composition exercises, and on the right-hand page multiple choice questions. The first two multiple choice questions test comprehension of the meaning of'the text and the others concentrate on structural words and lexical items. There is alsó a short exercise in sentence structure. A teacher's book is in preparation which will contain a key to the exercises in the students' books and notes on the most effective methods of presenting the material in the classroom. Vissza
