Synopsis

MOSAIC 1 is designed for college ESOL students who are at a high-intermediate level of proficiency. Courses for ESL (English as a Second Language) or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students are taught in both 2-year and 4-year schools and may be found in a variety of departments including English, ESL and extended or continuing education as well as in language institute programmes elsewhere on campus. MOSAIC 1 is appropriate for students who score 440-450 on the TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language), 135-145 on the CELT (Comprehensive English Language Test), 50-60 on the Michigan Proficiency Test or 65-75 on the Michigan Placement Test. The MOSAIC 1 programme is known for its flexibility and ease of use. The texts in the MOSAIC 1 programme are filled with a variety of skill-building exercises, lively activities and interesting, practical information about life in the United States and Canada. The grammar charts and explanations given in "A Communicative Grammar", have been simplified throughout, and this third edition contains more communicative activities and exercises than virtually all of its competitors. All grammar structures continue to be introduced and practiced in the context of the chapter theme.

About this title

From the Publisher

A Content-Based Grammar is organized by grammatical structures and by themes. It begins with optional diagnostic and review material; later chapters introduce more complex structures.
Each grammar topic follows the same clear, predictable sequence.
Grammar points are presented in concise charts, followed by exercises ranging from more controlled to less controlled practice.
A wealth of communicative speaking and writing activities encourage the use of target structure and vocabulary.
Review sections every four chapters contain a variety of cumulative exercises that provide a more systematic recycling of key grammar structures.
