Tactics: the new course for Bachillerato

Tactics 1 and 2


Tactics

Burke/Hadkins/Lewis
Intermediate to Upper-intermediate

Tactics is a complete two-level course specially designed to accommodate the different Bachillerato curricula and to provide the necessary preparation for the official university entrance exams.

Tactics ensures students learn the right techniques and habits to give them the confidence and skills they need, as well as offering them ample opportunities for improving their general English skills for use in their personal and professional lives. Tactics has been written specifically for Spain.

For each level there is a free Student's Audio CD/CD-ROM containing all the recordings for the Workbook and extra practice in the language areas covered in the Student's Book. This CD-ROM includes more than 200 Common Learner Errors from the Cambridge Learner Corpus, enabling students to identify and correct the mistakes they are statistically most likely to make in an exam situation.

The free Portfolio Builder provides students with a document to create their own language portfolio, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
