A word from the authors...

"When Chris and I started writing face2face, two of our guiding principles were to make life easier for teachers by having lessons that required minimal preparation, and to get students communicating quickly and frequently.
Over the years, we’ve been delighted to receive so many positive comments from teachers and students which confirm that the course has achieved those objectives.
Our principle for developing the second edition in response to all this invaluable feedback has been to ‘keep the best and improve the rest’. So, there’s clearer referencing, more practice, updated material and lots of new features.
I hope that those who have already used face2face successfully will appreciate the changes we have made. For those new to the course, welcome! I hope you and your students find it both effective and engaging."
Gillie Cunningham
I think this new feature will be very motivating for students and provide variety in the classroom for teachers. You’ll find the Real World video clips on the Teacher’s DVD – another great addition to the course – which also includes the teachers’ notes and photocopiables on one disc.
Finally, I’d like to offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone who used the first edition of face2face, and I hope you enjoy using the second edition with your students."
Chris Redston
