Historians of French and German literature are accustomed to set off a period or a division of their subject and entitle it Romanticism.

Entry 1 Skills for Life ESOL Student Workbook is the first level in a series of five for new arrivals in the UK wishing to study English.  (Note: do not be confused by the illogical naming of the level by the DfES!)

It is an adult course that takes students from beginner/starter level to point eqivalent to a GCSE in English.

The course is designed to help new arrivals in the UK learn communicative English as quickly as possible.  I focusses on real life scenarios for those living in the UK.  It thus contains a lot of material and subjects not normally covered in general English coursebooks.

It is written and produced by the UK Department of Education and Skills (DfES).

Longman Proficiency Skills is a coursebook which provides systematic and enjoyable preparation for all five papers of the Certificate of Proficiency in English examination. It is a little bit outdated, but it is stll efficient.
