The textbooks were developed to meet the needs of students at different levels of proficiency, from beginner to advanced.

The textbooks were designed to be engaging and interactive, with a focus on real-life scenarios and examples. The program also included a component on language learning strategies, which provided students with the tools and techniques needed to improve their language skills.
