Each of the six units features a different country from the English-speaking world, paired with a theme that deepens students' understanding of the customs, culture, and language of the region of focus.

Every lesson can easily be customized to meet students' needs. The activities, which are paired with comprehensible and creative short stories, range from simple vocabulary practice to more complicated language production, such as recorded conversations with native speakers in which students can develop their listening and speaking skills. In addition to the short story lessons, we have included separate grammar and vocabulary lessons to ensure that students have a fundamental understanding of the structure of the English language in use and their communicative function. In the Culture and Connections section, the panoramas, interviews, maps, and authentic materials cover a wide range of rich cultural content that complements the themes covered in the short stories for a comprehensive introduction to the English language.
