Foreword

English Skills is a comprehensive skills development coursebook in English
language specially designed for Nepalese students. It has a systematic skills
based approach to language teaching and learning with carefully worked
out lessons and tasks that lead up to clear communicative outcomes.

The authors believe that the development of all four skills of language,
viz. listening, speaking, reading and writing, requires a clear and explicit
focus on the actual process of communication as well as close integration
of those skills within a learning task. This is to ensure that the students
use the information and ideas from one skills activity while doing another
while at the same time develop awareness of the communication itself.
This course has been crafted with this core concept in mind.

Evidently, learner development is a vital feature of this entire course. Over
the ten stages of this comprehensive course, students are encouraged to
develop as independent and active learners of English. The authors stay
confident that the skills and habits that they learn through this course
will amply prepare them for their higher educational pursuits besides
making them conscientious learners for life.

The authors of this coursebook also recognise the fact that students in the
same class often come from different socio-economic backgrounds and
do not possess the same abilities and experiences of life. Therefore, they
are at different levels in the same class. English Skills provides sufficient
chances for students with less knowledge, experience or language ability
to build up their knowledge through practice volume and repetition. At
the same time, more proficient students have the opportunity to expand
on the same activity, extend it to new directions or approach it through
new angles. This is possible due to the open-ended and multi-level nature
of activities and tasks included in English Skills.

In the end, results count. The success of the students will be deemed the
success of the course as well. The authors welcome any suggestions or
feedback from students, teachers, administrators and parents.

Happy teaching and learning!
