Dear Teacher,
Welcome to Sunburst . We planned and designed this book to provide you with interesting social situations that will engage your students in learning English as a second language. We selected different contexts within the learning environments that may be attractive, and in which your students will naturally use the language to communicate. Sunburst aims towards communicative interaction using the language as a cognitive and reflexive tool. At the end of this cycle, your students will be able to express and exchange ideas, talk about themselves and their emotions, give information about others, build up knowledge, organize their thoughts, and reflect on the new language. Here you will find suggestions on how to work each of the activities provided in 10 units. Reading skills will also be developed with activities designed for the Reader. You will also find opportunities to develop research abilities and cooperative work with your students which will enhance critical thinking skills and, very important, they will learn to learn, learn to know, and learn to do .
Thank you in advance for your enthusiasm and commitment. We really hope that you and your students will enjoy Sunburst .
Sincerely, The Authors
