A perennial bestseller, Encounters is the brainchild and collaborative effort of five dedicated EFL professionals. The book takes a revolutionary “holistic” approach to the teaching and learning of English that makes perfect sense and gets real results. As attractive as it is effective, Encounters encourages students to see English in a whole new light.
◆Key Features and Functions; Breaks language down into its component parts for clearer understanding and better retention. Precise statements of learning objectives ensure students know where they are heading and why. Each unit centers around a long core model conversation, the “whole” that students examine holistically to see how its parts fit and function together. Assessment checklists allow students to judge their own performance and progress. Prepares students for independent production through unique, fast-paced role- play, communication gap, and self-expression activities. Sensible, systematic approach makes the teacher’s job easier and keeps students active and alert. Fully illustrated with drawings and photographs to help students visualize situations and key concepts and usages.
