I believe that in the classrooms, all possibilities are valuable in the learning process of a target language. The two units: Say no to Prejudice and Living new experiences, were created in order to expand these possibilities and motivatenew experiences through themes that are in their daily lives. When thinking about the topic, there were many lines questioned, especially on theimpactthat these themes could have instudents lives. This collection works the conception of multidisciplinary1 and the development of critical thinking. It lays emphasis on the communicative approach. The scheme using authentic material to teach students English was incorporated in the two units, in a way they could work with real English in use. The tasks promote the development of all four-language abilities: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Providingvarieties of exercises, which stimulate students to build and improve their abilities gradually and naturally in a fun atmosphere.
