Techniques which teach the students how to answer questions often seen on major English tests, such as the Center Test and EIKEN.

The amount of text and vocabulary in each lesson is strictly controlled.

The amount of text grows by 30 or 35 words from lesson to lesson. The amount of new vocabulary and expressions also increases little by little. Therefore, the students can take small steps towards improving their reading skills.

The amount of text goes from 250 in lesson 1 to 600 in lesson 10. The number of new vocabulary words and expressions doubles. These clear goals can act as motivators for students.

More highlights. For additional information, see the usage in the textbook (pages iii - v).

Support Material for Teachers and Students

ATLANTIS Hybrid English Communication II Intermediate ATLANTIS Hybrid English Communication III Intermediate was submitted to the Ministry of Education in April, 2017.

Although the Ministry of Education does not allow us to talk about English Communication II or III (as these textbooks have not yet been approved), we can tell you that we are committed to a three year plan. We realize that teachers expect a three year series, and it is our full intention to deliver that. All three books (I, II, III) follow similar principles.
