Across Cultures + CD

• Popis

ACROSS CULTURES is a new modular, flexible, user-friendly course which presents a wide variety of material on the English-speaking world. Traditional topics, such as geography and institutions, are fully covered, along with the most up-to-date themes and topics.

English everywhere units:

While particular focus is given to aspets of life in the UK and the USA, other English-speaking countries are regularly referred to, and five English Everywhere units specifically feature South Africa, Jamaica, Canada and Whales, Australia and Ireland.

Music and Culture:

Five Soundtrack units explore the role of popular music within English-speaking cultures while still keeping to the modular therme.

Language and Culture:

Each module ends with a Language and Culture page which revises, in context, grammar and functions relevant to that module.

Literature and Culture:

A Final Literature module presents extracts from well-known authors from English-speaking countries, dealing with topics that can be linked to the themes of the modules.

Skills:

All four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening are regularly practised.

Vocabulary:

Vocabulary is particularly featured in this course, with a Word Bank in each unit and regular vocabulary exercises.

Exam practice:

Exam-style exercises are included in each unit.
