We are delighted to bring you the second
edition of English in Mind, which we believe retains the
features which have made the series attractive to, and successful
with, teachers and learners alike all over the world. We have, of
course, made several improvements, all designed to give you and your
students even more benefits. Here are just some of the key elements
which we hope will make English in Mind Second edition a
success in your classroom:
-
Brand new videostories
which are part of a sophisticated DVD-ROM,
included with the Student's Book, together with games and extra
activities. A 'Videoke' function gives students
the opportunity to practise the language of the video dialogues
in an enjoyable and effective way.
-
Speaking is given extra
attention with a good range of activities to allow your
students to develop oral fluency.
-
A 'Get it right'
section allows students to focus on common areas of difficulty
(as informed by the
Cambridge Learner Corpus).
-
There is a large number of
'Everyday English' expressions, selected on the basis
of the
CANCODE Corpus of spoken language, ensuring that your
students learn lexical chunks which are of proven frequency in
conversational English.
-
There are additional
vocabulary exercises after the 'Culture in mind'
sections and a 'Vocabulary bank' (extending the
lexical sets presented in each unit) at the end of the book.
-
There is an optional
'Welcome section' offering a quick start to the course
at every level and giving teachers the option of reviewing
previously learnt language with their students.
-
Each level has 14 units
instead of 16, allowing the course to be completed more easily
without any reduction in the grammar or lexical syllabi.
-
The Testmaker CD-ROM, expanded
Teacher's Resource Book and classroom presentational
software give you extra flexible support.
-
The online area contains extra
fun activities, games and quizzes for students.
