INTRODUCTION (S. ii)

THE ESL SAFETY BOOK is a reproducible ESL/EFL/LITERACY reading-and-discussion text for beginners in English. It offers a number of important design features to make both teaching and learning easier and more enjoyable.

1) Contextualized learning: The short self-contained articles in each unit benefit from a very clear focus that facilitates realistic concentration on inter-related items of vocabulary and grammar that are relevant to the topic and the argumentative purpose.

2) Content that really matters: Each unit examines an element of safety that will genuinely interest and inform your students.

3) Lively journalistic style: Although the passages are carefully limited to an elementary level of language difficulty, their style remains vivid and authentic.

4) Well-balanced exercises: The exercises offer a good range of activities for each unit, including: multiple choice, getting the main idea, basic comprehension, remembering details, inferences, true or false, matching, vocabulary study, dictionary practice, cause and effect, cloze exercises summarizing information, statistics, chronology, minimal pairs, context clues, discussion questions and more.

5) Illustrations: There is a clear and evocative illustration in each unit, this can be used as a pre-reading exercise, for vocabulary brainstorming, or as the basis for discussion.

6) Answer Key: The text includes a full answer key for every closed-ended question in every unit.

7) Reproducible: Photocopying rights are granted to the individual teacher or the single school purchasing the materials.

A copy of this book purchased by an individual teacher is that teacher's property and can travel with her from school to school. A single copy of this book may not be kept at a resource center and used to service several schools.
