This book - Intermediate Skills - represents a new approach to skills teaching, in which integrated skills activities bring together reading, writing, listening and speaking in a natural and realistic way, and provide a balanced method for students to practise and develop their language skills.
The topics have been carefully chosen to give interesting, useful and authentic contexts, both for understanding and producing language.
• Authentic and semi-authentic reading and listening texts.
• Assistance with vocabulary development.
• Use of texts as a springboard for discussion and the production of a piece of writing.
