Code Red Student Book

Level: B1+ / Intermediate - Upper Intermediate

This is a new and lively course for teenagers. It aims to build up their general English skills while gently easing them into more tailored PET and FCE exam practice. The clear yet integrated approach develops reading, writing, listening and speaking skills whilst there is systematic build-up of topic-based lexis and lexico-grammar.

The topic-based units cover general topics common to international exams, but these are approached in a way that is appropriate to the experience and interest of the target age group.

Key features :

Challenging enough for stronger students, yet enables weaker students to progress with confidence

Writing banks, speaking files, 'words to know' sections and grammar sections provide invaluable reference tools

Review sections after every unit
