Описание: Abraham and Mackey have integrated research on effective reading and
vocabulary development in writing the second edition of CONTACT USA:
READING AND VOCABULARY TEXTBOOK. The topics, presented with an
intriguing view of contemporary U.S. culture, are intended to generate lively
discussions in which students can apply their knowledge and express their
opinions about both American culture and their own.
CONTACT USA addresses the unique needs of adult ESL/EFL students who at
the high-beginner and low-intermediate level of English proficiency typically read
and comprehend more English than they are able to produce actively. This text
presents and recycles vocabulary clearly in contexts and exercises designed to
encourage guessing meanings from context and avoiding overdependence on
dictionaries. Reading exercises in this new edition are more varied in format and
purpose. These exercises require students to reexamine reading passages in
order to complete tasks in reading comprehension and analysis. With
progressively more difficult exercises throughout the text, students learn to
become more efficient and independent readers.
Each unit in this second edition contains:
Background building exercises to activate student knowledge about the topic,
Additional readings including graphs and charts,
Word analysis exercises with both word roots and word forms,
Suggestions for follow-up activities to expand the reading experience.
Among those motivating features designed to break the language barrier for the
ESL/EFL student, Contact USA: Reading and Vocabulary Textbook. . .
Involves students in text material through engaging topics, additional readings
on similar topics, and problem solving and discussion exercises,
Develops reading skills through exercises focusing on skimming, scanning,
analyzing vocabulary in context, outlining, and reading charts and graphs,
Allows for different modes of interactions: individual, group, and teacher-class,
Offers creative illustrations that prompt discussions that involve and motivate
students.
