Multimedia
face2face continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of you and your students. The course now includes a range of easy-to-use multimedia components to help you get the most out of your teaching time.
Classware
Classware brings the text, images and audio from the Student's Book and the video from the CD-ROM together onto one DVD-ROM.
It gives teachers a new way of presenting and using the Student's Book material in class, and can be used with interactive whiteboards, portable whiteboard devices, or simply a computer and projector.
With Classware you can:
- play all the class listenings quickly and easily, with audio links displayed right next to the relevant activities. Includes the option to show the scripts!
- watch video in full screen with or without subtitles.
- zoom in on individual activities from the Student's Book lessons.
- work with the material on display, including highlighting, hiding and revealing, making and saving your own notes and attaching or linking to your own files.
Classware is perfect both for teachers new to using technology, and for those with lots of experience.
Test Generator
Test Generator, featuring ExamView® Assessment Suite, is a brand new assessment package to accompany the course. It provides an accurate, flexible way to monitor and evaluate students' progress in grammar, vocabulary and Real World language (Accurate Writing for Advanced level).
Test Generator includes a progress test for each unit. Multiple versions of each progress test can be printed, containing the same questions but in a different order.
Quick and easy to use, and with a clear scoring system, Test Generator allows you to tailor tests to meet your students' needs. This includes writing your own test questions using a range of possible formats, selecting the questions you'd like and changing the order of questions.
Just save the tests that you create, then email them to your students or print them out to use in class. You can also deliver the tests via a local area network, which even enables the objective part of the test to be marked automatically, saving you valuable time.

Additional features include a host of listening activities and video sequences, a recording capability, hundreds of test questions and a progress portfolio for students to keep track of their achievements.
All the main dialogues from the Student's books are on the CD-ROMs, as well as an additional 20 minutes of listening material taken from the Real World sections which can be played on normal CD players.
