FOREWORD

In today’s world, every graduate competes on a global scale. Thus, it is important to equip learners with the proper skills to be competitive—one of which is excellent communication skills in the English language.

The influence of English on the world can hardly be contested. It enables. It is the language in which a great part of the world’s knowledge is stored and it is the language in which business, trade, and diplomacy are conducted. A mastery of the language provides access to information and opportunities.

The EnglishTek series is TechFactors’ innovation in English learning. As a learning system, EnglishTek develops students’ communication skills by incorporating current practices in language learning and technology.

We believe in providing a holistic approach to learning English by simultaneously honing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills to make students competent in both oral and written communication.

Learning is also made relevant by situating learners in context and by using situations, examples, and texts that can be found in the real world. In line with TechFactors’ mission, learning is also made fun and enjoyable through colorful and vibrant lessons and activities.

We hope that, with this series, students become effective communicators in English and simultaneously enjoy the learning process. By building these critical foundations of communication, we hope to provide them with tools to compete in higher education and in life.
