The English
Between Friends series is for teachers and
students who believe speaking is best developed
through conversation with friends. Friends talk
about what is meaningful to them, not what a
textbook tells them to talk about. They listen
to each other, not CDs, and they don’t read
their friends’ questions before answering.
Students, thus, take turns answering with their
books closed.
The
questions and activities in these books are
intended to bring students to a level where they
can hold extended conversations. To be able to
do this students need to know how to
* check
understanding
* ask for
clarification
* ask
appropriate follow-up questions.
With this
framework in place, even if their answers are
short and imperfect, students have a method by
which they can apply and build on the hidden
vocabulary and grammar they learnt in school.
Book 1
In
addition to the questions and activities, Book
1 contains a series of varied and
graded exercises to develop students’ ability to
find out what their friends do, think, and feel
and there is extensive guidance on what to do
when the conversation breaks down.
