Inside Out - Sample Pages (Intermediate)

A classroom-tested English course for adults and young adults, Inside Out has been designed to develop real-life communicative skills and powers of self-expression. Creative grammar work Learners organise and develop their knowledge of grammar. Easy-to-use exercises put rules into - practice - and are then recycled as speaking activities. All grammar work is backed up with clear summaries. Personalised speaking tasks A series of challenging speaking tasks focuses on learners' own experiences and opinions. Choices within tasks encourage learners to take charge of interactions. Structured planning time is built into tasks, improving both fluency and accuracy.

Focus exercises highlight and recycle lexis to help learners build a bigger and better active vocabulary.
