English 123 Course is a beginner's level course based on a communicative syllabus and a broad integrated multi-syllabus approach intended to enable the student to rapidly reach a reasonable level of proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening at elementary level; that is, the objective is to develop the students' overall communicative competence. By the end of the 123 Course students will have begun to acquire and master the integrative skills they will need for their future academic studies.

The syllabus covers the first half of the course book and provides a systematic focus at a basic level to grammar and language functions, vocabulary and the four skill areas. In the grammar component students are shown how the language works and provided with a frame of reference they can consult. New language is presented through dialogues and reading texts. The course material is functionally based and task-oriented, but includes patterns of the language to be practiced in reading, writing and conversation. The class work is extended by use of the practice book and other supplementary material, all of which provides additional practice in grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing and listening.
