Acknowledgements
While writing this series, the author has often been supported by
his family and encouraged by God.

I dedicate this labor to my dad, Nagibe Rosti, who has always

inspired me with his words of motivation and faith. I also
thank my Heavenly Father who has been giving me the gift
of love for teaching, and for life itself.

Sincere thanks are also due to all my friends who were around
while I was involved with this project.

Teaching is such a great and amazing work and that’s “my

thing”, for sure.

Nagibe Rosti

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and

responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

 Developing
Four Skills
Oral:
Producing sentences according to the vocabulary, using for this activity most
of the time in class. More than 50 % of the time. Be careful with the correct
pronunciation of the words. Encourage the students to produce the senten-
ces aloud and with enthusiasm.

Reading:
Since the very first moment the student has a contact with this skill,
reading will improve as the lesson will be presented. By making the
translations according to the material you’ve received in class, no
further. Translate the sentences in «chunks», not word by word, becau-
se it may be a serious problem in the next books.

Writing:
It takes it part with the reading as well. Translating in the same way you’ve
done from English to Portuguese, now on the contrary. Translate the
sentences in «chunks» not word by word.

Listening:
Here it goes! This is the most important activity of all. The better you listen,
the better you speak. I’ts been proved that who listens well has greater
chances of speaking better too. So pay attention carefully to the teacher as
he says the sentences by the end of the classes.

SELF CORRECTION: You don’t have homeworks to be done in the book 1 and 2, but you have
classwork, and the corrections for those exercises is done in class with the teacher’s supervision.
