Each unit of "East West features a conversation introducing the teaching points, a speaking section aimed at developing accuracy and fluency, a section devoted to listening and reading skills, and a language checklist that summarizes all the new language covered. The "Workbooks provide a wide range of writing activities related to the oral skills developed in the "Student Books. The interleaved "Teacher's Books include step-by-step teaching suggestions and additional activities, as well as background information on grammar and usage, vocabulary, culture, and pronunciation.
