STARTING OUT is the first book of ACCESS TO ENGLISH, a four-part course with optional audio-visual components which takes students with no previous knowledge of English up to a good intermediate level.
Parts 2,3 and 4 of the course – GETTING ON, TURNING POINT and OPEN ROAD – may also be used independently.
STARTING OUT covers 20 chapters in the story of Arthur Newton, an amiable if somewhat incompetent junior librarian whose light-hearted adventures provide the story-line for the course. Among other episodes in this book, Arthur finds himself returning home late at night to the wrong house, stranded on an island after a picnic on the river, and – apparently – winning a fortune on the football pools.
Accompanying this book are:
– the Teacher's Book
– Tapes or Cassettes
– Filmstrip or OHP or Wallchart Packs A and B
– Workbooks A and B
– Testbook
– Songs & Music Cassette
