New Headway. Upper-intermediate Workbook.

The New Headway English Course advances the successful Headway series, introducing features that engage adult and young adult learners, making English learning both interesting and motivating. This course blends traditional and modern methods to enhance students' accuracy and fluency. At the upper-intermediate level, a more integrated approach to language learning is essential, treating grammatical areas in depth to help students understand the underlying systems of the language. Offering around 120 hours of language instruction, this course builds on the New Headway Intermediate and complements other levels in the series. Key features include universal topics from diverse sources, including authentic listening texts, and a comprehensive grammar focus. Each unit begins with a "Test your grammar" section, followed by "Language in context," where students deduce rules through targeted questions. The Practice Bank offers varied exercises, while the Grammar Reference provides detailed usage rules. The curriculum also explores spoken English grammar, addressing politeness, linking adverbs, exaggeration, and discourse lexis. A thorough skills syllabus develops all four language skills systematically, alongside a well-defined lexical syllabus covering collocations, binomials, homonyms, and compounds. Pronunciation practice is integrated throughout, and everyday English is emphasized in the Postscript section. Additional resources in
