New Framework 2 Student'S Book+cd-Rom (B1)

Description: Retains all the best features of the original with more concise grammar presentation & speaking activities

Framework is a fresh, innovative and comprehensive course for young adults and adults learning English at school or in private language classes. Its easy-to-use methodology is based on engaging topics with a modern perspective, an inductive approach to grammar, constant re-cycling of vocabulary, thorough coverage of pronunciation, and a carefully structured writing syllabus. It promotes oral communication with a 'real English' focus through personalisation and discussion.

Framework has been independently assessed and benchmarked to the Common European Framework by specialists at the Testing and Evaluation Research Unit of the University of Reading. This provides an added guarantee that users will achieve a given level of linguistic competence by the end of the course.

Appealing topics and authentic communicative tasks which reflect real-world situations.
