The tasks are graded in order to pose an increasingly demanding but manageable cognitive load and challenge and are based on Dr Conti's P.I.P.O. framework:¿ Pre-reading tasks (activation of prior knowledge & pre-teaching) ¿ In-reading tasks (intensive exploitation of tasks) ¿ Post-reading tasks (consolidation) ¿ Output (pushed-output tasks) Consistent with Dr Conti's E.P.I. approach, each of the 12 units in the book provide extensive recycling of the target lexical items both within each unit and throughout the book, across all the dimensions of receptive and productive processing, i.e.: orthography (single letters and syllables), lexis (both words and chunks), grammar/syntax (with much emphasis on functional and positional processing), meaning and discourse. The recycling occurs through input-flooding and forced retrieval through a wide range of engaging, tried and tested, classic Conti tasks (more than 20 per unit). These include student favourites such as slalom writing, faulty translation, spot the missing detail, sentence puzzles, etc. Please note that both The Language Gym and SentenceBuilders.com websites are ideal supplements to this book.
