Global ELT brings Charles Dickens’ comic adventures of a young man supporting both his undiscerning mother and his beautiful sister to its series of Global Compass Graded Readers. English language learners of all ages will enjoy developing their vocabulary and reading fluency as they read about the thoughtful Nicholas and his time as an assistant master at a wretched boys school, a job secured by his malevolently shrewd uncle Ralph. Students and teachers alike will be captivated by Dickens’ heartwarminig tale of triumph over difficult times. Global Compass Graded Readers provide beginning and intermediate English language learners accessible adaptations of the greatest works of literature. They are carefully designed to retell the stories using vocabulary and sentence structure appropriate for one of six different grade levels. Each reader includes: • discussion questions before (preview) and after (review) each chapter, • a glossary of key vocabulary words, • a short Playlet for classroom performance, • an MP3 CD with the recordings in British English, • a Workbook with Reading Comprehension questions, Vocabulary exercises and a Reading Journal, • Extra: online teachers’ tips.
