Authentic texts, whether reading, listening, or both, present new language and enable students to see the target language in context. 'Language focus' boxes in the presentation sections and 'Discussing grammar' exercises help students explore the language of the unit further. 'Spoken English' sections cover the grammar of spoken English. Writing lessons at the back of the book include models for students to analyze and imitate. 'Everyday English' sections provide students practice in useful functional phrases, metaphors, and idioms. A helpful grammar reference at the back of the book can be used for revision or reference, in class or at home.
