They work with the Coursebook, which includes both educational content and tasks, and with the Language Companion where they find the vocabulary, language structures, learning strategies, and input to reflect on their own learning.
The instructions are short and easy to understand, with color-coded toolboxes providing additional support. Each unit is devoted to a main topic and concludes with a task (focus page).
Practice and repetition form part of learning a foreign language. Apart from the tasks in the Coursebook, a wealth of interactive exercises and online audios are available.
