Keren! Stage 3 & 4 Course Book, Activity Book, & CD-ROM Pack

Keren! Stage 3 & 4 Course Book, Activity Book, & CD-ROM Pack includes both student books and an interactive CD-ROM that contains e-content for the course book and activity book (answers can be filled in on-screen and printed), plus audio from the audio CDs. The course book is arranged into six topics of study designed to stimulate student interest and to present real-life situations in Indonesia. Full-color illustrations accompany each lesson as students follow the adventures of a young Australian girl named Nicky, and her family and friends in Indonesia and Australia. Each topic in Keren! is taught thematically, built around a cartoon comic strip storyboard that emphasizes listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each cartoon dialogue is performed on the audio CDs using a variety of accents.

Keren! Stage 3 & 4 Activity Book corresponds directly to the six topics of study in the Keren! Stage 3 & 4 Course Book. Cross-references to language functions and grammar points are provided. Many of the activities in the Keren! Stage 3 & 4 Activity Book are listening activities and require the use of one of the audio CDs. Students will learn dialogues, listening skills, and key vocabulary words and expressions, as well as grammar and Indonesian cultural notes.

Some topics in the Keren! Stage 3 & 4 Course Book include describing the weather, popular music, environmental issues, and Indonesian history.

A Companion Website for Keren! Stage 3 & 4 offers a wealth of support material for students and teachers, including: review questions (auto-correcting, multiple choice, labelling, matching and fill-in-the-blank), helpful web links to sites supporting research and exploration, technology activities (drag and drop interactive activities), student study guide activities, and a teacher's resource center (password protected area with curriculum correlation grids for Australian learning guidelines and a teaching plan for each topic).
