Where in the World.: Read, Write, Speak, and Visit 30 Great Places on Planet Earth

We are currently refreshing our shelves and this title is discounted while supplies last!

Where in the World invites learners to travel the globe through the eyes of Igor, a curious and adventurous character who visits thirty remarkable destinations. Each unit blends storytelling, cultural exploration, and essential language practice, giving students an engaging reason to read, listen, speak, and build new vocabulary. The accessible narrative structure keeps beginning learners motivated while developing the foundational English skills needed for future success.

As students accompany Igor on his journey, they discover fascinating places while practicing core language structures such as WH-questions, simple verb forms, everyday vocabulary, high-frequency expressions, and basic pronunciation patterns. Carefully scaffolded activities help learners build confidence through short readings, controlled practice, and communicative tasks that encourage students to ask and answer questions, describe places, and relate the content to their own experiences.

The integrated-skills approach develops reading, listening, speaking, and vocabulary together within a meaningful cultural context. A free downloadable audio program provides listening practice that models natural English rhythm and pronunciation, helping learners improve comprehension while reinforcing the vocabulary and structures introduced in each unit.

Ideal for beginning ESL and EFL learners, adult education programs, newcomer classes, and literacy instruction, Where in the World combines language learning with the excitement of world travel.
