Communicative Language Teaching
New! Learning to Communicate is a communicative course. It has been fashioned from the fundamental principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). What are these principles?

Teaching Reading
'To enable students to read without help unfamiliar authentic texts, at appropriate speed, silently and with adequate understanding', says Christine Nuttall (1982). A primary aim of New! Learning to Communicate to develop learner’s reading skills and to provide them a rich reading experience.

Teaching Words
Words constitute an important part of language learning. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to enlarging the learner's store of words. The New! Learning to Communicate course ensures that learners add to their word-store.

Teaching Grammar
The main purpose of the Grammar section in New! Learning to Communicate is to provide a comprehensive coverage of grammatical structures and to enable the learners to internalize them.

Teaching Dictionary & Study Skills
The main objective of the Study Skills section in the New! Learning to Communicate Coursebooks is to familiarize learners with the use of a dictionary.

Teaching Writing
Writing poses acute problems to learners of English: the need to organize ideas and arguments, the need to be linguistically accurate, the need to use a variety of words and grammatical structures, and the need to be stylistically appropriate.

Teaching Speaking
Why is speaking often regarded as the most important of the four language skills? The single most important reason for teaching speaking is to develop oral fluency, that is, the ability to express oneself intelligibly, reasonably accurately and without undue hesitation.

Teaching Listening
New! Learning to Communicate is one of the rare school courses that emphasize the importance of listening in the language curriculum and the need for learners' active participation in the listening process.
