Coursebook shows them different topics and they are related to the target language they develop in their school as a communicative resourse.
the strengths of the coursebook are related to the coursebook itself, it means, printing, edition, atractive colors, easy to read.
On the other hand, the weaknesses are: lack of authentic language, it doesn´t have a Cd to complement the work, it is too easy.
This coursebook is basic, it needs a lot of changes to help students to develop their learning strategies. Besides, activities presented need to be complemented with extra materials because it shows us a little review of the topics. Sometimes, we need add extra information to clarify ideas or more activities to understand the content.
