Used as a full-year English course textbook, this book will build the students’ reading skills through guided readings and exercises. The carefully selected reading topics, along with ample writing, grammar and conversation practice, make this book an excellent choice for the teacher looking for a multi-skills textbook for the reading-focus class. Used by the student for self-study, each chapter in Way Ahead is easy to follow from section to section. The readings, discussions and vocabulary presentations are written in a non-technical and accessible style, while also providing the curious learner a path for further investigation and study. The first reading in each chapter is followed by a discussion of selected literary devices. The student will learn how to recognize the devices and how an understanding of these devices will aid in reading comprehension. The main vocabulary section occupies the center of each chapter and prepares the student for the second reading. Several grammar points are also presented which relate to both readings. The approach of Way Ahead is highly integrated. A central theme of the literature selection of each chapter’s Reading 1 is further explored in Reading 2. Also, examples of literary devices used in the literature selections are explained and discussed. Further, all the grammar tips are supported by clear examples from the readings. The approach is also versatile. The teacher, or the self-study student, can opt to focus on certain chapter elements while leaving out others. For example, he or she may teach only one or two grammar tips per chapter. Similarly, some devices might warrant more study time than others, depending on the nature of the course and the needs of the students. In other words, this book is useful for a variety of learning situations and can serve both the English major as well as the general English language student. This book features: • Fifteen chapters on a variety of topics grouped into five unit: Travel, Science & Technology, Society, Music & Art, Global Issues • An abundance of vocabulary presented with exercises for practice, with over 700 words and expressions from the chapter readings • CEFR levels of the words in the chapters’ main vocabulary section (approximate percentages): A1-A2(28%), B1-B2(46%), C1-C2(26%) • Two Informative and inspiring readings per chapter: • Reading 1: a presentation and discussion of an excerpt from a literary classic • Reading 2: an up-to-date discussion of the chapter’s topic in essay format • Fifty exercise questions per chapter divided into seven sections: • Getting to Know Devices • Reading 1 Comprehension • Practice the Vocabulary (conversation practice) • Reading 2 Comprehension • Vocabulary and Grammar Exercises • More Vocabulary Practice • Grammar Practice • Recap and Assimilation: Short answer questions, vocabulary sentence practice and two optional essay questions CEFR correlation: B1~B2+"

內文 : "CHAPTER SCHEME OVERVIEW

Each chapter follows a similar content scheme. The logic of flow, simply put, is this: The classic reading selection is introduced, presented, explained and discussed. Then the selection’s literary or rhetorical devices are described. Through different types of exercises, you will interact with the classic reading content and become familiar with the devices. The second half of the chapter begins with an introduction to the vocabulary and grammar-focus elements you will encounter in the second reading. This reading is presented, followed by comprehension, vocabulary and grammar exercises. The chapter wraps up with a recap and assimilation section.

A. Classic Reading Introduction

We begin with a warm-up question or activity to start thinking about the chapter’s topic and first reading. Then the background and context for the reading selection are introduced.

B. Reading 1—Classic Reading

The reading selection is presented in column format. On the left side is the original text and parallel to the text, on the right side, is a paraphrase and/or discussion of the text.

C. Literary Or Rhetorical Devices

In this section, first the literary or rhetorical devices are first discussed with reference to Reading 1 and additional literary examples. Second, exercises are given to develop your comprehension of the reading and its language elements. Exercises to enhance your understanding of the devices are also given. Third, a box titled “Explore Some More” gives suggestions for further reading and research on the Internet.

D. Vocabulary And Grammar From Reading 2 (E)

Key vocabulary terms and expressions from the second reading are listed, along with definitions and examples. An exercise designed for conversation will help you to begin familiarizing yourself with these terms and expressions. You can choose to do this exercise either before or after you read Reading 2.

A sub-section called “Grammar Tools” provides you with grammar tips and explanations with examples from both the first and second readings.

E. Current And Applied Reading

This second reading discusses the chapter’s connecting theme and topic in a fresh way that is relevant to our every-day lives. Another “Explore Some More” box suggests some additional ideas for further reading, exploration and research.

F. Comprehension, Vocabulary And Grammar Exercises

The comprehension, vocabulary and grammar exercises in this section are a mixture of exercise types. These include matching, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions. These exercises will help you understand Reading 2. They will also reinforce your learning of the chapter’s vocabulary and grammar items.

G. Recap And Assimilation

Each chapter concludes with thirteen review and reflection questions, including a set of vocabulary sentence-writing questions and two optional essay questions. You are encouraged to discuss the questions with a study partner or group before writing your answers."
