THE ENGLISH MAGAZINE AS A LEARNING AID

Most students are eager to read books, magazines and newspapers in English, but are quickly discouraged when they get bogged down with too many difficult words, strange idioms and complex structures. The English Magazine is designed to meet those students' needs, offering them stimulating reading and listening material in language that provides them with the right kind of challenge and at the same time gives the student a sense of achievement at having been able to read with confidence an authentic text in English. Because the language is graded at three different levels of difficulty, students ranging from post beginner to advanced level are able to read fluently at the level of difficulty best suited to their ability.
