Way Ahead is an imaginative, six level course for primary school children who are learning English as a foreign language. The course is reading - based, with a strong communicative flavour. The structures and functions of English are taught through a variety of inviting, child - centred activities, which have been carefully graded and are suitable for classes in a variety of cultural backgrounds. At the lower levels, the books introduce a cast of interesting characters who contextualise the language and make it fun. At the upper levels, new language is presented through a series of motivating and informative topics, as the course develops the skills the children need to pursue their studies
