Providing a reference book for general English in the academic setting of Iran has always been a challenge both culturally and educationally. On the one hand, the issue of cultural hegemony and subsequent identity change of the young learners has always been a big concern among authorities (political and educational) as the books available on the market might not be suitable for the Iranian- Islamic context. On the other hand, the available books on the market do not seem to be in accordance with the pressing need of the freshman students who are going to experience a semester-long course of general English to which just three hours a week has been dedicated. The present book consisting of twenty lessons on various topics has the potential to make the learning-teaching process enjoyable for both teachers and learners.
