CEFR: A2-B1 N2 - "Communicating with Grammar is an engaging Canadian series for ESL students. Offering grammar through a broad spectrum of themed chapters, and incorporating each of the four skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - the program helps students internalize key grammar concepts for better use in all their communication. Using a "learn-practice-use in context" approach, the task-based and communicative pedagogy ensures delivery of the essential grammar concepts via practical exercises and authentic communicative activities. The contextualized grammar allows students to become functional in English as quickly and efficiently as possible. Key Features: Guides student learning by combining discrete grammar instruction and traditional exercises with a communicative task-based approach; Reinforces the grammar in varied, enjoyable, and often personalized communicative activities; Contextualizes grammar seamlessly through use in context; target grammar is embedded in the reading, listening, and writing sections; Provides regular review, affording extra opportunity for students to practice the material and solidify the key aspects of their learning; Embodies flexibility for accommodating language learners of all levels; Level 2 is designed for students who have enough grammar and basic understanding to formulate questions and construct more-complex sentences. At the entry into this level, students can usually communicate their intentions to others but still make frequent errors in structure, tense, and usage. Through improving grammar in the four skills areas, Level 2 enables students to have more fluency, a larger vocabulary, and the ability to express themselves with more complicated sentence structures.
