FACTS & FIGURES - The best way to develop English vocabulary
Facts & Figures, Fourth Edition is the cornerstone of the celebrated Reading & Vocabulary Development series by Patricia Ackert and Linda Lee. Designed specifically for beginning-level English language learners, this textbook transforms the process of building literacy into an engaging exploration of the world.
By presenting learners with fascinating, real-world facts and captivating stories, the Fourth Edition ensures that students aren’t just decoding words, but are actively comprehending and retaining information. It serves as an essential bridge for students transitioning from basic literacy to more complex academic English, making it a staple in ESL classrooms globally.
The Reading & Vocabulary Development series is renowned for its systematic approach to language mastery. The key features that set Facts & Figures apart include:
- Thematic Organization: The book is structured into distinct units—ranging from “Animals” and “Plants” to “Music” and “Work”—allowing students to learn vocabulary within meaningful, related clusters.
- Systematic Vocabulary Recycling: New words are strategically repeated throughout the text in various contexts. This research-based method ensures that vocabulary moves from short-term recognition to long-term active usage.
- Critical Thinking Integration: Beyond simple rote memorization, the exercises challenge students to analyze, compare, and synthesize information, fostering the cognitive skills necessary for higher-level education.
- Contextual Learning: Rather than isolated lists, vocabulary is introduced through high-interest readings, making the learning process intuitive and natural.
Published by National Geographic Learning (Cengage), the Fourth Edition introduces significant pedagogical and aesthetic enhancements to meet modern educational standards:
- Fresh and Updated Content: Readings have been carefully revised to reflect current global facts, ensuring the material remains relevant and culturally sensitive.
- Modernized Design: A cleaner, more intuitive layout with high-quality photographs and illustrations aids visual learners and reduces cognitive load.
- Enhanced Focus on Collocations: Recognizing that fluency comes from knowing how words work together, the new edition emphasizes common word pairings to help students sound more natural.
- Improved Sequencing: The progression of difficulty has been fine-tuned to provide a smoother learning curve for true beginners.
To support the digital-first classroom, Facts & Figures, Fourth Edition offers a robust suite of online tools:
- Interactive Online Workbook: Powered by MyELT, this platform provides students with instant feedback on exercises, allowing for self-paced study and remediation.
- Comprehensive Audio Program: All reading passages are available in high-quality audio format, which is crucial for developing phonemic awareness, correct word stress, and overall listening comprehension.
- Digital Practice: Engaging online activities provide additional “wraparound” support, reinforcing the vocabulary and grammar structures introduced in the print units.
This edition is designed to be “teacher-friendly,” offering comprehensive support to reduce prep time and enhance classroom delivery:
- Teacher’s Guide: A detailed roadmap for every lesson, including expansion activities, cultural notes, and a complete answer key.
- Assessment CD-ROM with ExamView: Allows instructors to quickly generate customized tests and quizzes, tracking student progress with precision.
