These materials are English for Special Purposes (ESP) materials; they are not intended to replace General English learning materials, but to complement them. To bring something extra to the students. Each unit is based around a text that concerns that topic and that serves to introduce the main lexical items associated with it. A number of language learning activities are built around each text. [+/-]


The learning activities are of four basic kinds:
• Pre-text activities
• While text activities
• Post-text activities
• Language Consolidation activities

Who are these materials for?
These material are intended for Non-Commissioned Officers, (master sergeants, sergeants and the like), who are about to go on a training course run by the British Military Advisory Training Team. They will be trained in duties performed by NATO NCOs and in how to be a trainer of other NCOs. The students should be at STANAG 2.

However, the material may be of use to other NCOs who are not going on such a training course. Though such NCOs may not need the specific language introduced in these materials, the fact that the materials are military based will prove motivating and will stimulate development in the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
