Reading and Listening text types
The reading and listening texts in Teens’ English 7 are real life texts. There is a
wide variety of text types: newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, extracts
from dictionaries and encyclopedias, labels and packets, letters, radio broadcasts,
live interviews, speeches at competitions, etc.
Integration of skills
In Teens’ English 7 the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing
are taught in an integrated way. The reason is that there are few cases in real life
when we do not talk or write about what we have read or when we do not relate what
we have read to something we might have heard. Therefore we have tried to link
diff erent skills to each other through various activities such as:
– reading and writing, e.g. reading and fi lling in the tables, writing summaries,
writing an answer to a letter, writing about oneself, note making, writing questions,
writing opinions, etc.
– reading and listening, e.g. reading and checking the information through
listening, matching text and opinions, etc.
– reading and speaking, e.g. reading and answering questions, saying True or
False information, discussing the information in the text, debating, etc.
– listening and reading, e.g. listening and putting the texts in order, fi nding the
required information in the text, etc.
– listening and writing, e.g. listening and completing the missing information,
completing tables, writing opinions, etc.
– listening and speaking, e.g. listening and answering questions, discussing, etc.
