PASSWORD: COMMUNICATION FOR PRETEENS
COURSE PLAN
The two-book series Password: Communication for Preteens (PCPT) is
designed for young learners who are about ten years old.
Teaching preteens how to communicate in English is the fundamental objective
of the series. In order to promote effective and enjoyable learning, PCPT
features an integrated range of attractive activities. These include dialogues,
which are designed to teach vocabulary and structures in a stimulating and
motivating way, a wide variety of lively and interesting written and listening
comprehension exercises, as well as a TV commercial, songs, cartoons,
curiosities, and games.
The interests of young learners around the age of ten have been taken into
consideration when preparing the dialogues and activities presented in both
books. Attractively illustrated dialogues and activities as well as age-appropriate
themes and cultural topics create an environment in the classroom which fosters
interaction between the students and the teacher, and among the students
themselves, stimulating natural communication in English.
Each level of the course consists of a Textbook, a Workbook, and a CD, material
designed to develop students’ competence in the four basic language skills.
This book contains the following sections:
• Hidden Words,
• Text (including a text in comic strip format),
• Reading Text,
• Language Highlights, and
• Having Fun (including subsections such as Song, Cartoon,
Curiosities, Word Search, Break the Code, and Spot the Differences).
At the end of this book, there is a list of all the new words and expressions
presented in the lesson texts.
Password: Communication for Preteens — Book 2 contains 289 new words.
