ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΟΧΟΙ

Περιγραφη

Think Teen - 2nd Grade of Junior High School (Προχωρημένοι) consists of th­e Student's Book, the Workbook, the Teacher's Book and the Audio CD.

The Student's book is divided into eight Units, each of which comprises three lessons. Each Unit focuses on a central topic or theme, which links the three lessons and leads to an extended project. This topic or theme functions as an "umbrella", under which relevant topics or subthemes come together to form the contents of the unit.

Each lesson is designed to cover approximately three teaching periods. It follows a specific structure, which includes activating Ss' prior knowledge, discussing concepts, exploring the topic through a variety of activities integrating the four main skills, reinforcing language, practising new forms with guidance and then more independently, assessing and presenting work.

The development of skills is very important within the cross-thematic approach. A typical lesson is
arranged into the following main sections: reading, listening, writing, speaking, language focus, and a project (not necessarily in a linear order). Ss engage in communicative language activities involving reception, production, interaction and mediation. The activities provide opportunities for Ss to work individually, in pairs, in groups or as a whole class.
