A new school course in English today should be compatible with the changing roles and functions of the language in India and relevant to the present and future needs of learners of English in the country. Broadway is a complete course. It is designed to help learners communicate effectively and accurately in English and to take them to the threshold of proficiency in the language where they can confidently look forward to dealing with pressing areas of communication at the secondary and senior secondary levels. The central question that it therefore addresses is: What does the learner need to do with English?

Comprising course books, workbooks, literature readers, teaching aids, audio tapes and teacher’s books, Broadway is based on a specially developed syllabus that takes into account the themes and the linguistic and communicative needs of learners recommended by the National Council of Educational Research and Training ( NCERT).
