Grammar
in Context The new grammar is always introduced in a natural context.
This reading could be a conversation, a letter, a questionnaire, a radio
talk show, or any format that lends itself to the grammar naturally. All
readings are high-interest, modern, and fun for students of all ages.

Grammar

in a simple format. The grammar notes give explanations of the grammar
with advice and warnings, followed by examples of the grammar in context.
Form, meaning, and use at their simplest and cleanest!

Focused
Practice In a controlled, safe setting, students are encouraged to be
detectives and Discover the Grammar for themselves. This leads to a
variety of focused exercises, including editing, error analysis, and
listening that encourages students to practice the new grammar.

 |
Communication
Practice Now students can put what they've learned into practice in
more creative ways. They understand that learning the structure beneath
the language leads to increased communication, accuracy, and fluency in
all four skills. The Communication Practice step gives students the
opportunity to use the grammar through games, info gaps, surveys,
discussions, and so much more.

Review or SelfTest At the end of every part in Focus on Grammar, there is a review test that can also be
used as a self test. These exercises test the form and use of the grammar and include TOEFLŪ-type
questions to prepare students for the future.

Review

have completed the test. When a student's answers are
incorrect, the student should go back to the appropriate grammar
presentation and review the grammar structure.
