Textploitation is divided up into four different text types (articles, stories, conversations, tiny texts) and each section has a lesson from elementary to advanced. Each lesson focuses not just on one grammar point or piece of vocabulary but also looks at developing skills and training learners to be more autonomous. This is achieved through guided discovery and awareness raising activities, using the texts as a source. Each lesson comes with a teaching tip and practical procedures designed to support teachers as they teach.
