The coursebooks and associated digital resources we use in class are based on the latest research into English as it is really used in everyday situations. We think that it is important that classes follow a coursebook to give your program structure.

You will receive a coursebook on your first day, as well as each time you progress to a new level or to a different program. They are yours to keep, so that you can make your own notes and use them as a reference in the future.
