This book gives students a taste of the interesting variety of contemporary poetry written in English, and helps them develop their fluency skills. Each poem is preceded by a warm-up activity which enables learners to associate its theme with their own lives.

Final activities ask students to produce a short piece of writing.

A collection of short stories with exercises designed to stimulate reading, listening and fluency skills.

The aim of the series is to develop confidence and fluency in each of the four major language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It provides both skills training and language practice within a clear structural and lexical framework. At each level, the four skills are covered in two books which can be used in parallel or separately: Reading and Writing and Listening and Speaking. Each unit in Reading and Writing requires students to read and understand a text before producing their own written work. In Listening and Speaking learners listen to a recorded text and produce related oral work. Within each book there is a systematic development of sub-skills such as reading for gist and for detail, writing drafts, listening for gist, negotiating, and using context to guess meaning. The 'spiral' syllabus introduces sub-skills, practises them thoroughly, then recycles and develops them throughout the series. The grammatical syllabus is clearly set out along with the skills syllabus. The controlled language base allows teachers to fit the material easily around the syllabus of any main coursebook. The series is specifically designed to appeal to teenagers, with topics of interest to the age-group and eye-catching, full-colour artwork.
