Giving students stimulating input at the appropriate level is an essential part of good language teaching/learning and is a cornerstone of Expanding Horizons: Critical Thinking through Authentic Video. It is a 4-skills book designed to help students improve their English skills through exposure to authentic, high-interest videos that are carefully graded to follow the CEFR framework. Expanding Horizons takes a student-centered approach that encourages the development of critical thinking skills through the discussion and exchange of information, ideas, experiences and opinions. It balances fluency-oriented writing and paired/group activities, with accuracy focused shadowing, dictation/dictogloss and vocabulary development activities.
