At the heart of A World of Difference are
fourteen thought-provoking and humorous essays,
written in natural yet accessible native-speaker
prose. Each essay—and each chapter—encourages
students to think about, write about, and discuss
topics that are closely related to their own
lives: love and marriage, part-time jobs, favorite
seasons, the importance of having a dream, and
many others.
Goal
The book aims to develop students' ability to
read, think, and write about a variety of fun but
stimulating topics and to nurture the ability to
participate actively in discussion.
Plenty of Activities
Students begin by answering picture-based
discussion questions and predicting essay content.
Glosses allow the texts to be read without
requiring dictionaries, increasing fluency and
enjoyment. After reading, students answer
comprehension questions and write some of their
own. Key vocabulary exercises check students’
ability to use new words in different contexts,
and authentic model conversations allow practice
of key expressions in controlled situations.
Finally, students are invited to write up and
discuss their own ideas while reflecting on their
language development.
