 ExpressWays Book 28 is intended for students who have been exposed to the basics of beginning-level grammar and vocabulary, and who have had some introductory exposure to the usage of English for everyday life situations. The text builds upon and reinforces this foundation, and prepares students for the intermediate-level language skills required for competence in everyday life situations and interpersonal communication. ExpressWays Book 28 is organized by topics, or competencies, while incorporating integrated coverage of functions and intermediate-level grammar. ExpressWays provides dynamic, communicative practice that involves students in lively interactions based on the content of real-life contexts and situations. The topically organized syllabus is fully integrated into a complete conversational course in which students not only learn the vocabulary and expressions needed for essential life situations, but also learn the various ways to express the functions of English and intensively practice the grammatical forms required to produce these expressions and functions competently. As the authors summarize in their introduction to the teacher: "We have attempted to offer students a communicative, meaningful, and lively way of practicing the functions of English, along with the grammar structures needed to express them competently. While conveying to you the substance of our textbook, we hope that we have also conveyed the spirit: that learning to communicate in English can be genuinely interactive...truly relevant to our students' lives...and fun!"
