Many thanks for your review on the Language Fun Farm website. We feel you have a keen insight into the way we view the profession, and hence into the way we construct the Headway course books. It's true that the series has been around for a long time. In our travels around the world, we are now meeting second generation users of Headway . Some have suggested that, all those years ago, we set out to write a series that would sell everywhere.
Nothing is further from the truth.
We didn't even set out to write a series. Headway was originally going to be just a two-book series at intermediate level. What we did set out to do was to write something we believed in, that we had tried and tested ourselves. Our thinking then, as now, was to combine what we saw as the best of traditional and more recent approaches. If we believe in something, we include it.
