Open House:  Come In!,  Step Up!, Move Up!, and Open Up!
Louie Dragut
Taejon Jungang High School, Korea

Isn't it about time someone made a good book for middle schoolers that's not too difficult, not too simple, and not too boring? Well, yes, it's time. Oxford University Press introduces Open House, a course covering structures, functional language, and vocabulary for pre-teens and young teens. The course follows a group of youngsters through their home, school, and social experiences. Interesting bits of Western youth culture are carefully integrated with all four language skills. The course also focuses on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and study skills. Cross-curricular topics and regular use and revision solidify retention. 
Also, learn some fun ways to engage pre-teens and teenagers in language learning. Explore some innovative teaching methods and some of the activities from the course's teacher's books. Open House is also accompanied by a workbook and an audio cassette. Get a free book and a chance at some other great prizes!
