The main goal of English course in high school is the students’ management of the four communicative language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
This book has been designed to help students grow in their English knowledge and its proper use for personal and public reasons. Based on previously learned skills, learners are moved to develop their social linguistic communicative competence learning more about basic grammar, and expanding their vocabulary in social communication.
In the exercises students are asked to participate actively whether individually or in groups. Interaction is emphasized as both, the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.
They talk about every day topics in English, and short talks in family situations using basic conversational strategies on dialogues.
The dgb Syllabus marks the following topics for this level:
Block I. Personal information about myself and other people.
Block II. Describing routines.
Block III. Talking about what it is happening.
Block IV. Doing a supermarket list.
At the end of every block, students have a Self Test which could be used as cumulative work. Beside there is a personal evaluation about accomplishments and attitudes for individual improvement.
