New Headway Intermediate (New Edition) is a brand-new edition of this course, maintaining the core content but updated.
Key features of the new course are streamlined units, now eight pages long, easy to navigate, with clearly divided sections. There are small changes to make activities run more smoothly, as well as major changes to text and topic. The grammar syllabus has been retained, but has been modified where necessary for greater clarity. Grammar Spots highlight key areas, getting students to analyse form and use. Up-to-date texts with global appeal reflect changing trends and the use of English worldwide. Reading and listening texts from a variety of authentic sources develop comprehension skills and integrate speaking practice, usually personalised. Writing now has a separate section at the back of the book, with a fuller syllabus, providing models and follow-up activities.
