EF - English Language Publications

EF English Language Publications

Along with expert teachers, students will work with a variety of materials depending on their course type and objectives. EF publishes educational media in-house, which allows us to tailor our content to match our students’ needs. Our commitment to development is ongoing: we have adopted a principle of formative evaluation, which uses regular feedback from all stakeholders to inform the creation of the next generation of the materials.

Učebná metóda EF Efekta™

Our general English textbooks and online courses are multi-level courses taking learners from beginner to advanced level. The courses present the key language features of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, while placing an emphasis on using language to communicate in authentic contexts. Attention is paid to all four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. A task-based approach has been adopted in developing the writing and speaking materials. The courses also seek to develop skills useful to all major ESOL examinations and professional environments as well as to provide background information to anyone studying or working in an international environment.

The Efekta series includes textbooks and online courses, divided into individual units of instruction, currently numbering 112. The print series is structured with 4 books (A, B, C, D) for each language proficiency level, with 4 units per book. The materials include student and teacher books, audio CDs, and supplemental worksheets, quizzes, and communicative activities.
