The workbook contains user-friendly grammar explanations in clear English that are accessible even if you are not familiar with grammar rules and terminology. The structure of the program (grammar in the workbook and activities in the student text) allows you to work independently on learning to use grammar in context. Filled with creative activities that inject levity as well as simplicity, you are encouraged to produce sentences that target form but also to use language creatively and to personalize language by expressing your own opinions in exercises.
