The Password series uses readings about real people, places, and events to help students develop reading skills and increase their active vocabulary. Each book¿s six theme-based units ¿ including such universal topics as work, travel, and celebration ¿ feature appealing passages, carefully chosen vocabulary, and a variety of exercises to engage and motivate readers.
Units are followed by a four-part Wrap-Up section, which uses review and expansion exercises, puzzles, and dictionary skillbuilders to consolidate and enrich students¿ understanding of new words.
Other features in the Password series include:

• Target word choices based on analyses of authentic language data in various corpora, including the Longman Corpus network.
• An emphasis on systematic vocabulary acquisition, including carefully controlled sentence structure and recycling of vocabulary.
• Activities that highlight collocations and word grammar.
• Periodic vocabulary self-tests to help students assess their own progress.
• A Teacher¿s Manual with an answer key for all student exercises, six unit tests with answers, and a Quick Oral Review for rapid vocabulary drills.
