Breakthrough is a three-part course for upper secondary students and young adults whose previous training in English has provided little in the way of communicative skills. This new edition of Breakthrough provides: • a syllabus organized around a core of essential functions, topics and grammatical notions ● a primary focus on the development of listening and speaking skills • training in communicative writing and reading skills • a variety of realistic learning situations and activities • graded practice exercises • maximum student involvement through group and pair work • authentic language, both spoken and written This Workbook contains exercises relating to each unit in the Student's Book, including listening comprehension exercises to be used in conjunction with the cassettes, conversation and grammar exercises, and further writing tasks. Cassettes are available for each part of the course. They contain recordings of the presentation dialogues, listening comprehension exercises, and fluency drills. There is also a comprehensive Teacher's Book to accompany each part of the course.
