The series as a whole preparesstudents to study wholly or partly in English medium at tertiary level, or to join the world of academicEnglish, on the internet and in new edition has been extensively revised to takeinto account feedback from both teachers andstudents. The accompanying Workbook providesfurther practice in all the skills themesIn each level of Progressive Skills in English there arefive themes, covering a wide range of areas of humanknowledge. Level 3 Theme 1: Remembering and forgettingTheme 2: Friends and familyTheme 3: Managing to be succesfulTheme 4: The mediaTheme 5: Customs: Origins and effectsThe sectionsWithin each theme there are four main sections, eachdealing with a discrete skill: listening, speaking,reading or writing.

9 A number of related topics areexplored within each theme. For example, in Theme 5the following areas are explored:Listening: cultural diversitySpeaking: wedding customsReading: the price of happinessWriting: cultural changeThe focus in each section is ononespecific skill. TheMethodology notes in the lessons stress the discreteskills focus and caution against spending too much timeon, for example, speaking in a listening section. This isnot because the writers dislike integrated skills. Indeed,each theme ends with a section called Portfolio, whichprovides detailed guidance on integrated skills activitiesfollowing the completion of a particular theme. Theinsistence on the target skill is because the writersbelieve that both the teacher and the students shouldfocus on improvement in a specific skill in a particularlesson, rather than moving constantly between differentskills.

10 However, the key word here is focus. More thanone skill will, of course, be involved in any particularlesson. For example, in listening lessons there is almostalways a speaking output, and in writing lessons there isalmost always a reading commonality of theme across the four skillsections means that, by the end of a theme, studentshave a much deeper knowledge of both theinformation and vocabulary that it comprises than is normally achieved in ELT course lessonsEach skill section contains two or four main lessons,and each lesson has a clear focus and pagesEvery theme contains three additional pages:Everyday EnglishThis page is in the speaking section and builds skills insurvival language and social English . In Theme 1, forexample, this page covers Making friendsand inTheme 2, Apologizing. See the Methodologysectionfor more quizThis page is in the reading section and tests studentson their acquisition of common core knowledge andthematic vocabulary from the theme.
