Double Take is a three-level supplementary skills series written especially for teenage learners. At each level, the four major language skills are studied in two books: Reading and Writing and Listening and Speaking.
Each unit of Reading and Writing requires students to read and understand a text before producing their own written work. In Listening and Speaking learners listen to a recorded text and produce related oral work. The language and topics in the two books are closely linked and they can be used either separately or together.
