Do not forget to introduce the textbook to the class and explain how it will serve as a resource in
helping them to achieve their proficiency goals. In doing so, review the scope and sequence and show the
learners the topics and skills included. Walk them through one unit so that they can see how the book is
laid out and how it can be used to meet their learning goals.
Please assign homework as needed (web search, vocabulary work, collecting inf. in advance, etc.)
