ELI Teenagers and Young Adult Readers

• The text is divided into chapters and is equipped with an on-page glossary where necessary.

• Useful dossiers focusing on culture and the author are supplied in the classics series.
• The Test Yourself section offers activities which take into account the whole story.
• Syllabus

Reading, speaking, writing and listening skills are fully practised and developed through exercises specifically designed for each skill. The text, either whole or partial, is narrated by native speakers on an Audio CD.

Some of today's most interesting illustrators have been chosen to illustrate each of the titles in the series with a visual 'commentary' designed to aid comprehension and draw the student into the stories.

The clear and captivating design of these elegant books not only simplifies the task of understanding the text but also makes them a pleasure to hold and read.

To get the most out of each reader, you can find extra activities for each title on ELI website.
• Extra activities for students (activities, fact-files, exam preparation exercises, etc)
• Extra activities fro teachers (activities, fact-files, exam preparation exercises, assessment exercise etc)

The Extensive Reading Foundation is an International organization whose purpose is to support and promote extensive reading.

ERF's Language Learner Literature Award for graded readers in English aims to support the development of language learner literature in English and to encourage extensive reading in language education.

An International jury selects the finalist (shortlisted) books from among those nominated by all ELT international publishers. The books are selected for their outstanding overall quality and likely enduring appeal. Final choices are made by an international jury.

One Foundation initiative is the annual Language Learner Literature Award for the best new works in English. Through the Language Learner Literature Awards, the Extensive Reading Foundation has, since 2004, recognized the best graded readers of the previous year, with awards for each language level, voted online by students and teachers from all over the world.
