THE ORGANIZATION OF THE
COURSE
Each unit of Headway Upper-Intermediate
has ten sections, though not necessarily
in the same order.
1. A Discussion Point, which launches
the theme of the unit by means of a
speaking activity.
2. A reading activity, which practices
different reading skills and which
usually, contains significant exponents
of the target language.
3. Vocabulary 1, arising out of the
theme of the unit, or the preceding
material.
4. A Listening activity, which practices
different language skills and
which usually, revises the target
language.
5. Vocabulary 2, arising out of the
theme of the unit, or the preceding
material.
6. A Speaking activity related to the
theme, either a discussion or a roleplay.
7. A Writing activity, which focuses
on one aspect of the writing skill.
8. The Language Review, which gives
the essential rules of form and use
of the target language.
9. Controlled Practice exercises
which consist of pair and group
work, comparing and contrasting
sentences, writing, and sometimes
listening.
10. A Revision section, which revises/
introduces areas of the language
that students at this level need to
be familiar with.
