INTRODUCTION

Welcome to New Connection Book 1. This is the first book in a series
created to propel learners toward fluency. Outstanding English skills will
open up doors for anyone in today’s world. No matter how out of reach a
student’s learning goals seem to be, the New Connection series will provide
the boost he or she needs.

Each unit of New Connection Book 1 follows a set structure designed topush students to put what they have learned into practice as well as tochallenge them to expand their skills. The unit begins with a Vocabulary
section, which utilizes both audio and visual methods to introduce words
related to the topic. This is followed by a Listening & Speaking section inwhich speakers use new vocabulary—in addition to new grammar points
and expressions—in real-life situations. They will listen along and fill inblanks, and also be tested for comprehension. Afterwards, they’re prompted
to put freshly learned vocabulary and grammar skills to use in a series ofreview exercises. The unit ends with a related article and an opportunity forstudents to write their own compositions.

As students progress through each level, they are constantly encouraged
to put what they have learned to use. At the same time, they never stoptaking on new challenges to help themselves reach the next benchmark
in the learning process. By developing a hunger for advancement, New
Connection Book 1 proves that the sky is the limit for today’s learners.
