Exam-style questions in every unit allow students to practise what they have learnt on the course and prepare themselves for the examination.

The course has a strong focus on developing students' grammar and vocabulary. Useful 'Grammar Spotlight' features emphasise the necessary language and grammar needed at this level and ensure students understand how and why they should be using it.

Engaging new texts and a wider range of text types reflect the revised syllabus and offer students a deeper insight into the language and culture.
