Focus on IELTS Upper Intermediate Coursebook with iTest.com CD

Published 2010. Focusing as it does on academic skills, Focus on IELTS aims to fully prepare students for the IELTS exam. This new edition maintains the topic-based approach to learning English, which has proven popular with students and teachers, but there is plenty of new material to bring it up-to-date and help students start working in a more self-analytical manner, so they are able to constantly improve their learning and work towards further academic studies. The Focus on IELTS exam skills training offers even more preparation for IELTS, while the graded practise ensures students have the best chance possible of succeeding in the exam. For independent learning, the Academic Vocabulary sections, and Key Language Bank are essential reference materials for developing formal English language skills.
