problems, and influencing.

acquire functional language and practise all the skills, including writing,
grammar and pronunciation.

communicative pair and group tasks and projects.

independently.

resources, such as the Reading Bank, Writing Bank and Functional Language Bank,
provide extra support for students, while teachers can use a range of extra
activities to extend and add variety to a class.
