The topics throughout the book deal with things like food, likes/dislikes, asking questions, life at home, travel, and several other basic level subjects the layout of each unit is simple and easy to follow, but the book is heavy on text and it may intimidate or even bore some beginner level students. Every unit is approximately 8 pages long and the activities provided in each lesson are easy to follow and relevant to the students’ level. New Headway Beginner is the first book in the New Headway series throughout its 14 diverse units, a lot is covered including grammar, vocabulary, writing, and speaking activities. This book covers all of the basics, in addition to more advanced language structures as the student progresses with each unit. As teachers we sometimes ask ourselves “are my students absolute beginners or do they have some knowledge of the language?” For such a situation New Headway Beginner is a great book to use.
When it comes to beginner level books, it’s difficult to know what kind of material will be relevant to our students.
