lntroduction Innovations, first publishedin 2000,was originallycreated to provide intermediateto high-intermediatestudents with interestingmodels of natural spoken Englishto motivate them beyondthe intermediateplateau. Innovations has now been expandedand developedinto a new seriesfor teacherslooking for a fresh approachto teachingyoungadults(Elementory (publicationin 2005), Pre-intermedi ate,I ntermedi ate,Uppe r-intermediote).lt is basedon a language-rich, lexical/grammatical syllabus that starts with the kinds of conversationslearnerswant to have.

and expandingof their English, studentsare provided with a very solid basisfor the conversationsthey most need and want to have.lt bringsstudentsto a level where they can meet the challengeof intermediate-level English,with its more concentratedwork on vocabulary and grammar.

What's so innovative about Innovations?

Organisation

Innovotions Pre-intermediote, like the rest of the series, setsout to maximisestudents'abilityto speakEnglish with confidenceand to help them beginto understand naturalspokenEnglish. lt doesthis not simplyby providingstudentswith plentyof opportunitiesto use language in personal,creativeand communicative contexts,but more importantly,by providinga predominantlyspokenmodel of English.The English presentedin the whole lnnovotions seriesis the English commonly used in everydaylife by fluent,educated speakers.The seriessyllabusis designedto meet students'communicative needsand is thereforequite compatiblewith the obiectivesand'cando' statements of the Common EuropeanFramework(CEF).At all levels,the prime concernis with what studentswill be able to soyafterwards.As a result,the starting point for the syllabusis not the usuallist of tense-based structures,but rather the typical l.A>K
