A modern, speaking-centred general English course that helps students use language naturally.
Overview
- Students at Elementary level and above have gaps in their language knowledge and performance which inhibit their progress.
- The natural English syllabus is based on research into these language gaps and the course brings together current ideas in a
stylish, principled, and easy-to-teach set of materials.
Key features
- natural English is a syllabus strand which enables students to integrate frequent, natural language into their language
framework.

centred speaking.
- The listening syllabus teaches students how to listen. A slot-in listening booklet features the tapescripts plus decoding and
pronunciation exercises.
