9 + 2 + 2 =13 pp
Who It’s For: Teachers, Helpers, & (Lower-Level) Students Wanting to Understand & Use Language Necessary & Effective in Emergency Situations
Why It’s Useful: Whether or not they’re focusing on English learning, sometimes users of the language will need it under non-routine circumstances that require quick action. To begin Chapter 8: Emergencies, four illustrated situations convey the message that “We Need (Immediate) Help.” Part One Vocabulary is typical in Steps in First Aid. In Part Two, text users hear and react to Simple & Continuous Present descriptions of conditions that call for relief right now. Part Three / Grammar in Conversation continues with same themes and purposes. So do Tapescript segments and Pronunciation Worksheet patterns.
What You’ll Do:
