We are going show the intergration of reading, listening and

speaking skills using textbook - focusing on Language Arts
activities. We feel that the activities designed for the unit need to
cater for all levels and thus more options should be discussed.
Having our pupils in mind, we have adapted the activities into two
levels beginner and intermediate. Lets go through the activities
together....

So now you must have realised that activities in the module are
pitched at different levels, some easier than the others; some more
difficult. It is therefore important for you to be able to recognise
your pupils ability and adjust accordingly.
