Routes to English

This structured course in English for primary and middle schools, suitable for mixed-ability groups, is based on recent developments in communicative language teaching. In the early books, new words are introduced pictorially and sentence patterns are provided in pre-units; this facilitates understanding when encountered in the main text. In the later books, relevant language structures are presented through global questions before each lesson. Emphasis is also laid on pair-work and group activity to encourage communication among children.
