Reaching Out is designed to help students
to become familiar with the basic words,
expressions, and interactions of intercultural
conversations. The textbook engages students in a
series of realistic intercultural situations in
which they might find themselves in, either in
their home countries or abroad. Through real life
scenarios, students can begin to develop real-life
interactive communicative skills.
Reaching Out builds through a series of
motivational tasks to draw together multiple
pedagogic strands to help students to quickly
develop vocabulary and grammatical skills. It also
features a strong focus on pragmatic speech acts
which are essential in intercultural communication
including complimenting, assuming, accepting and
rejecting invitations.
By the end of the text, students will have
developed not only basic comprehension and
grammatical structures, but also be able to engage
in real intercultural conversations.
