New Discoveries is an adaptation of the Discoveries series: the original material of the three part course is divided into four stages. The Grammar Practice is now incorporated into the Students` Book and tests are included in the Teacher`s Book. New Discoveries allows appropriate progression and arrangement of material for a four year language course. New Discoveries is: - Lively. A rich mix of lively, visually exciting and humorous material provides a continuous source of motivation and makes learning English an enjoyable experience. - Relevant. Up to date and varied topics offer plenty of opportunity for students to talk and write about themselves and their interests. - Clearly focused. Each lesson has a clear learning focus. Every fifth lesson revises and expands on language items learnt in the previous four and includes summaries of those items. - Communicative and systematic. A carefully contextualised and graded sequence of language structures and functions is designed to build communicative competence and confidence and to provide a sound understanding of the grammatical systems of English. - Authentic. Likeable characters in authentic British settings give an insight into British people and their way of life. New Discoveries components at each level: - A Students` Book. The full colour Students` Book contains stimulating and easy to teach lessons. - An Activity Book. Contains a wealth of additional practice material. The Students` Book and the Activity Book together provide material for approximately 90 hours` work. - A Teacher`s Book. Provides step by step teaching notes, copious suggestions for further activities, and tapescripts for the listening activities and the speechwork. - Set of 3 Cassettes.
