American MORE! Six-Level Edition is a version of a course from a highly respected author team that's bursting with features for lower secondary students. Key language for each unit is introduced in a photostory and put to use through the 'Language Focus'. There is thorough coverage of grammar via a dedicated section in each unit. The 'Learn MORE through English' pages introduce cross-curricular learning (CLIL) while the 'Learn MORE about Culture' sections explore English speaking countries. Students learn to 'Read MORE for pleasure' with the extra reading pages and the Audio CD/CD-ROM enables students to practice vocabulary, grammar, and skills. The Combo contains the Student's Book and Workbook material together, providing 50-60 class hours of material.
