Despite centuries of advances in the way we lead our lives, the exploration of the human condition through communication and interpretation remains unchanged. By connecting us with others, language provides us with the words, the ideas and the stories that make sense of our lives and of our world; emphasize the meaning, purpose and goals of the human condition; and help us decide what is important in our lives and what we can do to make them better.
This simple and vital connection between life and language forms the bedrock of Step by Step: Learning Language and Life Skills. Going beyond the simple goal of teaching English, this book integrates an activity-based language teaching programme with everyday aspects of our lives to empower young professionals with the confidence and skills to engage with and address the world they live in. Focusing on the issues of adaptability, gender sensitivity, health and ethics, Step by Step builds a concrete framework of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, progressively making each chapter a tool for learning, interacting and assessing.
This book will give professional undergraduates the ability to communicate, interpret and interact, and make them socially responsible citizens. Their decisions and their work will influence multiple lives, and the skills they acquire today will help them comprehend and steer the world around them towards a better future.
