Listening &
Speaking
The Listening & Speaking Student's Book is carefully structured to practice each of these skills.

that gives students the opportunity to use their new skills in a meaningful exercise.
Packaged with an online Digibook access code, along with a digital version of the text, the students also have access to a wealth of information and activities, including audio files, useful
language, dictionary definitions, videos and progress checklists.
