the teaching of English in Arab schools, was first published in 1977 background after research, conference and seminar discussions over a number of years. It pioneered the communicative approach to language learning and teaching. Since 1977, the Course has been amended from time to time and tailored to meet changing situations in different countries using it. This policy of regular updating has ensured the continued success of the Course throughout the Arab world. This new edition of the Crescent English Course is firmly based on the same theoretical and pedagogical principles as the original. The changes reflect both the wide experience gained by the authors over the years since first publication and the need to provide teachers with something new. A larger format has been chosen for the books to allow a large print size and clear illustrations at the lower levels of the Course and sufficiently large print sizes for the longer texts needed at the higher levels. The new materials continue to provide those features most likely to appeal to learners such as varied text types with attractive illustrations for language presentation and skill development, and games and songs at the early levels. The Course has a combined functional / structural syllabus and the recommended methodology is drawn from a variety of old and new sources. The Workbooks provide carefully graded and systematic practice and consolidation exercises as well as communicative language learning tasks. Although the new Course includes group activities, there is a greater use of pairwork. A system of signposting in the new edition makes the books easily accessible to pupils and teachers.
