Dear Reader,

Thank you for choosing this book, a collaborative project of my ELS323: Language Curriculum Development class at the University of Mindanao, Davao City, Philippines. This resource was created with a clear mission: to provide accessible English learning materials for those with limited access to updated textbooks, allowing learners to practice their English skills without added costs.

While this book can certainly serve as a textbook, its primary purpose is to be a supplementary resource for students who wish to extend their English practice beyond the classroom. We’ve made an effort to create a learning experience that is both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating. Throughout these pages, you’ll find vibrant photos, interactive videos, and carefully selected reading materials, all paired with activities designed to challenge and enhance your language skills.

In this book, you will work through exercises that focus on improving your English communication and writing abilities. Our goal is to help you develop and refine your language skills in practical, everyday contexts.

We hope this material supports your journey to becoming a more confident and capable English communicator.
