This workbook has several features that will help students apply the knowledge of grammar to suit different contexts, a requirement in the new Secondary English Language Syllabus 2001. Passages are written to illustrate specific grammar items in an authentic context. Every passage is tagged with the text-type and cross-curricular labels which teachers will find useful in their lesson preparation. All the exercises are designed to provide students with realistic language practice. In line with the current trend in modern education, every unit includes project work related to the unit’s topic and grammar focus, as well as information on websites that students can visit.
