I. Introduction.
The primary goal of this program is that you will acquire language skills
through a clear working plan which contains precise instructions with
plenty of opportunity for self-evaluation. Your role to distance learning
program is to participate actively and creatively in learning, using both the
materials you study in the course and your own knowledge and language
resources. In the last decades the student text was the focal point of the
instruction process. Today, the text plays an important role, but is
complemented by many exercises for the student's use. The CD's, the
workbook, and especially the Learning Guide, provide practice for each unit so
the students have the opportunity to use English for everyday situations and
purposes related to social life, work and leisure. In addition the learners will
be able to personalize the language, make use of their own knowledge,
experiences and express their own ideas and opinions.This is a flexible program easily adaptable for your own needs and available
time. We want to provide the support that you need through our exercises,
key ideas and learning suggestions.
General Objectives

integral development.
• To establish the strategies to develop the communicative skills.
• To get acquainted with the theory bases of the subject.
• To read intensively in order to understand the text..
• To provide the students with extra explanation about the studied topics.

activities cover skills of listening, speaking reading and writing.
The Student's Book contains twelve units with a Review Unit at the end of
each unit in the back of the textbook; including a set of communication
activities.

b) The Workbook.
The Workbook contains varied exercises that provide additional practice to
develop your skills. Each unit of the Workbook parallels the corresponding unit
of the Student's Book in context. Do the Workbook exercises as a review.

III. Organization of the Study Guide.
a. Goals.
A clear approach of a complete English program allows students be creative in
using their new language while developing their grammatical sense.
This guide to the student text is designed to provide the support that the students
need through key ideas, exercises and learning suggestions.
b. Level length and evaluation.
Each level covers twelve units divided in 4 parts (months). After covering sixunits of self instruction, students are expected to fulfill a Study guide questionnaire
On line in their Virtual Class. The exercises of the test correspond to the sixth
receding units.
There are two Study guide questionnaires. Each one covers six units of the
Student's Book. They are divided into sections, making it easy to identify students'
strengths and weaknesses.
c. Level schedule.
It has been designed so that students can complete the text in about 4 months.
The amount of time which students will spend on individual units will be affected by
factors such as the difficulty of material or the extent to which Practice Exercises
and Self Evaluation Exercises are added. The following course schedule is
meant to be a general guide which should be adjusted to the abilities of the
students and the program requirements.
