With a wide variety of text presentations, practice materials, and up-to-date topics relevant to young students (ages 10 and up), great attention is paid to careful pacing for gradual progress in language skills, with clearly focused aims for each unit, regular consolidation, and consistent reinforcement. Language materials are presented in fun and motivating ways, with highly attractive and colorful pages. Content focuses on learning about Chinese and Western festivals, Communication and the Media, Entertainment, Celebrities, Young People, Law and Order, Education and Employment, Environment, New Technology and a Healthy lifestyle.
