New Performance 2

More about the book

An integrated communicative and cognitive approach to the teaching of English. New Performance is a two-part course specifically designed for the biennio of the Scuola secondaria superiore, structured for use with false beginners as well as with students learning English for the first time. New Performance provides a variety of challenging materials, carefully chosen to appeal to young adults. The materials have been thoroughly tested with practising teachers and are presented in a lively and flexible way, to suit different teaching situations and learning needs. With its well-thought-out syllabus, which includes a balance of structural, functional and lexical elements, New Performance effectively combines communicative and cognitive approaches and systematically develops students' learning awareness. Each level of New Performance consists of a Student's Book, a Resource Book, a Teacher's Guide with tests, class cassettes and one student's cassette. An important new element of the course is the VT/New Performance Video, an exciting two-level video-magazine and activity book package, based on the syllabus of New Performance.
