Focus on Britain Today

Fülszöveg

The Macmillan Focus series takes a close look at different parts of the English-speaking world. Each title is written by an author with detailed first-hand knowledge of the area, and provides a selective and slightly off-beat view of its people, history, social life and culture. For those who believe that learners are curious about aspects of the English-speaking world, Macmillan Focus provides background material which gets away from the hackneyed and the predictable by presenting a series of 'insiders' views' of that world. Through reading about another culture, students can be provoked and intrigued into thinking about their own. Like other complex modern societies, Britain is constantly changing. In order to have a real understanding of that society, students need to comprehend the nature of these changes.

The Macmillan Focus series takes a close look at different parts of the English-speaking world.

For those who believe that learners are curious about aspects of the English-speaking world, Macmillan Focus provides background material which gets away from the hackneyed and the predictable by presenting a series of 'insiders' views' of that world. Through reading about another culture, students can be provoked and intrigued into thinking about their own. Like other complex modern societies, Britain is constantly changing. In order to have a real understanding of that society, students need to comprehend the nature of these changes. Focus on Britain Today has been developed especially for students at secondary level who are required to learn about British 'civilisation' as part of their language studies. It uses up-to-date information and communicative methodology to provide motivating practice based on those aspects of the country in the 1990s which are relevant to the learners of today. The topic-based language practice involves the input of information from textual, diagrammatic and visual sources. Specific language items are clearly presented and practised through skillsbased tasks. The lively, learner-centred approach encourages exploration of, and discovery about, the target society in relation to the students' own - and, above all, those aspects of both which are relevant, and of interest to, adolescents today. Focus on Britain Today is illustrated in full colour. Vissza
