Abstract explanations have been kept to the minimum. Where the lesson demands literary
features of that work have been explained and exercies have also been given to ensure the
understanding of the literary features.
As we are living in the age of globalization, we need citizens who can use English in different
ways in varied situations, so the learners are required to be equipped with essential language
skills and to have confidence to use it in daily life. With this shift of emphasis from learning for
learning sake to learning for using the language we have developed the following materials :
i. A main course book
ii. A workbook-containing listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar activities for more
practice
Charateristic features of the textbook -
* It provides enough material for practising all the four skills.
* Since exercises for listening and speaking have been given with the text, their technical
aspects like English sounds and stress are being provided in the workbook to help both
learners as well as teachers.
* There is a careful balance between structure (the way language is organised) and function
(the way language is used).
* Possible Grammatical explanations have been provided.
* Unseen passages and poems for comprehension have also been given.
* Writing has been given due importance by providing exercises for writing reports, description,
paragraph, letter, essay etc.
We hope that the learner friendly material provided here would enable the teachers
also to develop the needed skills in the learners. Teachers with ingenuity and imagination would
be able to interest learners in the task of making learning fun.
