Cambridge Academic English is for anyone who needs English for their academic studies. It is an integrated skills course, which means that at each of the levels you will develop your abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking in an academic context.
In your class there will probably be students studying or hoping to go on to study many different subjects. With this in mind, Cambridge Academic English includes topics and texts that will be of interest to students from all disciplines (Subject areas), and teaches language and skills that will be of use to students working in all subjects. However, some parts of the course also help you to develop abilities relevant to your particular area of study. Student’s Book B1 is aimed at students who need to improve their English significantly in order to guarantee success in higher education.
If you are familiar with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) proficiency levels, Student’s Book B11 is likely to be most useful for Independent Users at level B1 and above. Student’s Book B2 is aimed at students who will soon be starting undergraduate or postgraduate studies and are Independent Users at level B2 and above. Student's Book C1 is aimed at students who may already have begun their academic studies. It will also be of interest to non-native English-speaking academics who need to present and publish in English.
It will be of most use to Proficient Users:at level C1 and above. How is the book organised? The introductory unit, Academic orientation, introduces you to aspects of studying academic English. For example, you will learn about academic culture and consider possible differences in study methods in different countries and in different subject areas.
