Handshake is a pre-intermediate level course for young adults who have not been long in work, and for more mature learners who need to improve their communication skills in English. Handshake takes a fresh and constructive approach to the way students use language, and deals in depth with skills traditionally taught only at higher levels.
The course is organized around nine broad communicative themes such as 'Conversation strategies' and 'Non-verbal communication'. Students are encouraged to try out a broad range of hands-on communication activities which are set in the framework of a graded language syllabus.
Unit 1 Opening and closing
Unit 2 Non-verbal communication
