The coursebook is informed by corpus linguistics, so the grammar and vocabulary encountered is both high-frequency and realistic language. In the first half of the class, students develop their listening skills: the second half is devoted to practising speaking on the same topic. This mimics real-life communication, with listening preceding speaking, and has the further advantage of newly introduced lexis and structure being more readily cemented into memory. Phonology is incorporated throughout the course, with focus on pronunciation of individual sounds, word and sentence stress, and intonation. The coursebook has scope for further self-study.

<受講に際して・学生へのメッセージ>
You will be exposed to English as it is naturally spoken by American users. The English you produce will also be natural, making you sound more accomplished and less ‘like a book’. I hope this will be motivating for you. You will be able to interact and respond effectively in transactional and interactional situations of a variety of types, from listening to the radio news to attending an interview.
