Using This Book

This book is meant to compliment the low level video content of EnglishCentral. The book can be used in class and students can then speak the videos and do the quizzes onEnglishCentral. It is built in recycling of the curriculum.

In class, 3 steps are recommended.

Thats it! Students can then in a language lab or at home, use EnglishCentral andSPEAK the videos + do the video quizzes for each video. Teachers can track their

progress.

Also, have an end of book commercial contest. Either students using these commercialsor make their own. It can be lots of fun and very motivating.

We hope you enjoy using EnglishCentral in this blended fashion.
