The Language Link sections usually start with
an activity that incorporates the target structure into a sample of natural
language.
Encountering the structure in this way gives students
the chance to think about how the structure is formed and used. They will then
move on to guided practice using the new structure in writing, and finally practice
it using it in speaking. This step-by-step approach helps them to internalize
the form and meaning of the structure and gain confidence in using it.
