Fast Forward

"Fast Forward" is a series of four courses progressing from elementary to advanced level, which are specifically designed for adults on intensive courses of 60-80 hours. The courses are independent of each other, but are linked in philosophy and approach. For each of the four levels, there are two student's books which work in parallel: the Classbook and the Resource Book. The Classbooks concentrate on communicative skills between students in the classroom. They develop speaking and listening skills through such activities as games, role-plays and projects. The Resource books are designed for self-study. They contain self-access summaries of the grammar and communicative functions of each unit, grammar and writing exercises, and reading and listening passages. Each level also has a Teacher's Book and cassettes. "Fast Forward 2" which is designed for intermediate students, follows the same pattern as the other levels, with increasing emphasis on skills work, project work, simulation and role-play. The teacher's book contains teaching notes, tapescripts and extra exercises.
