From the outset, a realistic range of registers and vocabulary encourage development of the essential skill of comprehension. Clear examples and explanations make the grammar easy to absorb, and emphasis is placed on the acquisition of a wide range of essential vocabulary from an early stage.

This edition takes account of developments in modern life, such as new technology and practical communication. Units begin with a Prep rate page of activities and include plenty of grammar tasks. The Rinc n Cultural feature presents short texts of cultural interest and each unit ends with an Autoevaluaci n self-assessment checklist enabling students to review what they've learned.
