In this extensively revised third edition, Halliday and Matthiessen retain the organization and topical coverage of the earlier editions, while incorporating a considerable amount of new material.

Their description of grammar is grounded in a comprehensive theory, but it is a theory which evolves in the process of being applied.
Action Pack is a twelve-level course, leading students from basic to secondary stage. It is based on the most modern methods of teaching language, combining a topic-based approach with functional language practice, careful attention to grammar and vocabulary and a comprehensive skills syllabus.
