High-Beginning to Intermediate
Olympic English is a four-color, three level series that takes students from High-Beginning to Intermediate level, designed to help Chinese adult learners improve their level of English. The 2008 Olympic Games have clearly captured the imagination of people in China. A result of this enthusiasm is the growth of English language learning among adults in China. The purpose of Olympic English is to harness the Olympic spirit, while providing basic English instruction with extensive practice in listening, speaking and reading through a variety of high-interest topics. This series presents everyday English as well as sports terms in the context of the 2008 Olympic Games. Extensive practice in listening, speaking and reading is provided.
The activities will encourage pair-work and group-work. An accompanying teacher’s guide will explain to teachers how to use the materials.
