English Care promotes truly
communicative English abilities using health care
topics. Each of the three skills of speaking,
listening, and reading are developed through
genuinely interactive tasks. Genuinely
communicative pair activities accompany grammar
and vocabulary items which helps students to
remember the new items while also giving lots of
opportunities to personalise their language
production. This textbook is designed for
mid-to-upper elementary level students and the
writing component aims to develop students'
ability to look at English texts and realise how
organic language is and how to use reading to
self-study English.
The 15 units explore various current health
themes including caring for the elderly,
ergonomics, and sports injuries. The main readings
contain a central question that deepens students'
awareness of the health issue. Each topic combines
a social issue with a health one which helps
students understand the connections between health
care and wider society.
Activities
English Care is full of achievable activities.
Although most tasks have single answers, they all
require deeper thinking about how that answer is
arrived. Elementary level students will feel
satisfied knowing that they can understand and
produce quite complex and relevant language, and
teachers will feel confident that the types of
language skills being developed are useful for
students.
The format of the book is modelled on more
traditional textbooks to ensure students and
teachers feel comfortable using it. However, the
activity types and contents reflect modern notions
of communicative language teaching. The blend of
the traditional and the new produces a rewarding
and usable combination.
