- a clearly-structured, active approach to grammar and vocabulary learning.
- 'Culture Matters' units about life in Britain and the United States of America

For teachers, the course includes an A to Z of Methodology, and a full rationale which explains educational principles in language teaching. Both are available at this web site, as well as the syllabus maps.

The course was piloted with over 5000 students and is now in use in schools throughout Italy.

A Students Book's - providing three years study of English
