Headway is the world's best-selling English language course, offering a balanced curriculum with a strong emphasis on grammar and comprehensive support across all six levels (A1-C2). Delivered by Intertaal, this course combines proven methodologies with a strong focus on grammar, vocabulary development, and integrated skills through communicative role-playing and personalization.
Authentic materials from diverse sources introduce students to new language in context. A variety of reading comprehension tasks, language exercises, and extension activities practice the four skill areas: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The "Everyday English" and "Spoken Grammar" sections focus on speaking skills in everyday situations, while writing lessons at the back of the book provide students with models to analyze and imitate.
To support further development outside the classroom, the Oxford Online Skills Programme offers students the opportunity to review and improve their English skills. Embedded texts, both for reading and listening, introduce new language and provide context. "Language focus" boxes in the presentation sections and "Discussing grammar" exercises help students further explore the language of the unit. "Spoken English" sections cover the grammar of spoken English.
Twelve complete writing lessons are available at the back of the book, containing models for students to analyze and imitate. The "Everyday English" sections offer practice in useful functional sentences, metaphors, and idioms. In addition, there's a handy grammar reference at the back of the book, which can be used for revision or as a reference, both in the classroom and at home.
This course is suitable for both classroom and self-study use, and relies on Intertaal for fast delivery and reliability.
