American Headway is a multi-level series for adults and young adults who want to use American English both accurately and fluently.
It includes grammar, vocabulary and dialogues. Grammar and vocabulary are taught and explained thoroughly, and all four language skills are developed.
New Headway English Course is a development of the highly successful multi-level Headway series.
How does American Headway deliver lessons that really do work in class?
Short answer: methodology.
Headway’s balanced methodology combines the best of traditional approaches – solid grammar and practice, vocabulary development etc – and newer approaches, such as communicative role-play and personalization.
Authors Liz and John Soars have developed a set of principles which “… is a summary of all we believe when writing and teaching.”
Here are three examples:
i) Grammar has a core place in language teaching and learning.
ii) A wide variety of practice tasks in all the four skills are essential to language learning.
iii) Everyday expressions, particularly of spoken English, also need a place in the syllabus. These can be functional, social, situational, or idiomatic.
Now, American Headway Second Edition adds a new generation of digital support to that classic methodology.
Top of the list of new resources is the Teacher Resource Center.
It’s a password-protected bank of online resources which includes images, animated grammar PowerpointRG slides, video, worksheets, and more.
With a fast-find browser function, it’s quick and easy for you prepare lessons your way.
American Headway Second Edition also includes a new emphasis on testing to help students prepare for standardized international exams such as the TOEFLRG iBT. This includes new Spotlight on Testing lessons in the Workbook and access to a complimentary online practice test via the Student Multi-ROM.
For further support, the Teacher Toolkit provides ready-made resources including new classroom presentation, video expansion, and testing materials.
Still the world’s most trusted adult English course – American Headway Third Edition combines a perfectly-balanced syllabus with more conversation, assessment and digital teaching and learning resources than ever before. Its proven methodology – focus on grammar, clear vocabulary syllabus, integrated skills work – was developed by award-winning authors John and Liz Soars to give you lessons that really work in class.
