Immovattiens Aclyanced will provide the spur to reach that new level of fluency through its unique mixture of focused language tasks and stimulating skills work. Inmewetions Advameed contains: ° 24 compact units covering a wide range of topics people talk about in their day-to-day lives, each one packed with the natural language English speakers use when discussing them. ° 12 units focusing on different kinds of writing, providing models and useful analysis of core structural and lexical items that occur within specific genres.
* naturally contextualised grammar practice that helps you brush up on areas you've studied already and which will stretch you by looking at new grammar patterns in speech and writing. ° challenging reading and listening texts that spark discussion and debate or which bring up personal anecdotes to share in the classroom. * a focus on both idiomatic and more formal language to broaden the range of your English. We hope you find lmmnewettions Advanced as fun and interesting to learn from as we did to write!
