The New Concept English for Senior Secondary Schools series has been designed for teaching and learning English language at the Senior Secondary Schools' level, and offers an impeccable platform for preparing students for the Senior Secondary Schools' Certificate Examination (WAEC and NECO) in English Language. Based on the contents and requirements of the NERDC Curriculum for English language learning at the Senior Secondary level, the well-structured lessons in the series are filled with a wide variety of fun and learning activities to build and challenge the competence of learners in the use of English language, and to make serious learning truly exciting. A careful and deliberate effort has been made to teach the four basic language skills, namely: listening, speaking, reading and writing, in each of the books. This explains the reason for the adequate reading content and language exercises in the entire course. The activities in the text are diverse, but with greater emphasis on speaking, listening, and problem-solving — all designed to jump-start discussion and fuel English language conversations, with the aim of helping students solve problems through collaborative strategy-sharing. The level of challenge and difficulty in the content-rich activities in the series is appropriate for each class, with clear and well-thought out differentiation within levels. This book has 18 units and appendices highlighting holiday assignments, words often mispronounced, phonetic symbols, words often misspelt, irregular verbs and listening texts. The Oral English component describes the sounds being taught. Students are given the opportunity to master the pronunciation of the sounds through dialogue practice and writing practice. ‘Reminders’ included in the various sections of the book help students to remember what they have learned in all the four basic language skills.
