Teaching professionals rarely read a book?s introduction. Instead, we flip through the book?s pages, using the pictures, topics, and exercises to determine whether the book matches our learners? needs and our theaching style. We scan the reading passages, conversations, writing tasks, and grammar charts to judge the authenticity and accuracy of the texto. At a glance, we assess how easy it would be to manage the pair work, group activities, evaluations, and application tasks. This Introduction, however, also offers valuable information for the teacher. Because you?ve read this far, I encourage you to read a llittle further to learn how Step Forward?s key concepts, components, and multilevel applications will help your learners.
