Streetwise by Rob Nolasco
This textbook accompanies a secondary English language course centred around a magazine whose format allows for a variety of thought-provoking topics which are accessible and appealing to teenagers. In addition to vocabulary exercises focusing on words in text, there are sections to improve the reader's wordpower. Each book provides authentic reading texts, a variety of listening and speaking activities, revision of grammar, and pronunciation exercises which cover word and sentence stress, intonations and weak forms. Additional sections provide project work based upon the themes of each unit, and explore the nature of language and communication.
