The Compass course book not only contains the complete classroom material, but also a built-in workbook in the form of Your turn homestudy, keys, vocabulary sections, a grammar reference and the Your turn audioscripts.
A clear presentation of where you are in the book is given at the top of each page. Instructions are given in English in the units but in the Your turn homestudy section, instructions are given in German because learners are working alone.
The handy Out and About booklet allows learners to continue practising their English outside the classroom. The topic of each unit is developed in Out and About and learners are given related cultural information, Internet links, out-of-the-classroom tasks and tips how to improve their learning.
Two CDs come with the book. When the CDs are played on a CD player, the learner can access the listening exercises on the Your turn pages.
CD 2 is a combined CD/CD-ROM and serves a dual purpose: When it is played on a computer, students can also access the Recap material for all units. Here students are talked through the main parts of the unit and can orally practise the structures and functions from the previous unit.
Hello, I am Vanessa Clark. After a degree in modern languages and my postgraduate studies in education in the UK, I ran away to Munich ‘for one year’ and stayed for eight years as an English teacher and later as a Director of Studies. My classroom experience with adult learners in Germany and my teacher training role there is what I’ve found most useful in writing Refresh Now, Network Now and English Compass, as good coursebooks must be designed with both learners and teachers in mind. I now teach EFL back home in the UK and keep my connection with Germany through my work for Ernst Klett Sprachen.
Hello! I am Olivia Rainsford. I am a teacher, teacher trainer and writer based in Bavaria, but originally from Ireland. I arrived in Germany fifteen years ago, intending to stay for a year. I am still here. I never wanted to become a teacher, but somehow I ended up doing a Masters of Education, I teach full-time and now I am even involved in training other teachers. I live in a ramshackle house in a university town and spend my days doing all manner of crafty things.
Hello. I am Lynda Hübner - but don’t be taken in by the umlaut - I married it! I am English, though I’ve lived in Munich for … goodness me! - nearly forty years! And I have spent a lot of that time teaching English and writing EFL books for the Network Now and Refresh Now series. As a result, I have very little spare time - but I have managed to have a couple of kids and a couple of cats.
