Headway Video, Intermediate is the third level of an innovative English language teaching video series. It combines light-hearted drama with six factual reports to provide rich and varied learning material. The language syllabus is based on the New Headway English Course, Intermediate course book. The video can therefore be used as an additional component to the New Headway English Course, Intermediate or as supplementary material alongside other course books at intermediate level.
The activity book is in full colour and illustrated throughout. Each unit is divided into three sections. The 'Before You Watch' section aims to prepare students for the video. The 'While You Watch' section offers a global viewing task and then exploits the video sequence by sequence. The 'After You Watch' section offers optional activities in the form of role-plays, tasks and reading texts. There is also an active summary section of language used in the video. The activity book aims to develop listening and speaking skills. Students are encouraged to express their views on the characters featured in the drama and on issues raised in the reports. The activities draw on students' own experience and help them to gain insights into aspects of British culture. The activity book also contains a complete transcript of the video.
