English Extra, by Grace Tanaka and Kay Ferrell, incorporates a communicative, multiskills approach to English language learning. Organized around universal themes that provide opportunities for language use in students' own lives, English Extra begins with the self and home, and moves out into the broader context of school, town or city, and workplace.
