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 2
English
Between Friends Book 2 builds on Book
1 with longer units and more challenging
questions and activities, but with enough
accessible material to make it suitable for a
wide range of levels.
In
addition to the questions and activities, each
unit begins with an exercise 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.
