New Cutting Edge Intermediate Student's Book with CD-Rom

Published 2005 A BEBC bookshop bestseller, the New Cutting Edge course takes English language students from starter to advanced level with its task-based approach to learning. The course provides students with the essential skills they need to speak, write, read and listen to English with confidence and accuracy.

The books are divided into interesting topic-based modules - there are 10 to 16 in each book - and there are consolidation modules for further study. With 90 to 120 teaching hours in each course, students have ample time to gain confidence before moving up to the next level.

Grammar provides a key focus throughout the course, and students build on their knowledge as they progress through the levels. Likewise, key vocabulary is frequently listed, so that students build up their word-base and are able to progress more quickly. There are also verb tables and language summary sections that complement the modules.

Speaking is encouraged and regular speaking tests help to maintain accuracy and help students practise their English pronunciation.

The teacher's pack contains video content, practise tests and additional activities, as well as website access, and the CD-ROM offers plenty of opportunity for independent study. There are extra vocabulary and grammar practise sessions, and real-life short films that support classroom learning.
