Beginners-High-Intermediate

Cool Chat is a three-level program with an additional Intro level for beginners. It is meant especially for adolescents who have already studied some English in their elementary school years and who need to progress rather than start again. The Intro book can be used as a bridge level to bring students up to the level of the general class, or to teach total beginners.

• It features all the cool phrases and expressions that American teenagers use to communicate among themselves, in a lively, practical, fun way.
  
• It is based on communicative, constructivist language acquisition processes, featuring TPR, songs, chants, pair work, cooperative learning and hands-on projects and games.
  
• The "Cool Chat Kids", real teen characters, engage students in communicating in English, based on constructivist language acquisition processes.
  
• A computer-based activity, authentic readings, and an unique teen-centered two-page Cool Chat magazine.
  
• Achievable, meaningful and comprehensible grammar structures presented in a cool and easy-to use way.
  

Cool Chat is authored by two of the best known and respected names in ELT whose books are used by millions of students around the wolrd- Mario Herrera for the texts and Carolyn Graham for the songs and chants.
