This preparatory series is designed to appeal to a wide range of learners, reflecting the broad reach of the exams themselves. The material and task types replicate the exams as far as possible. The Teacher’s Book provides detailed notes and guidance on lesson procedure. It includes all the transcripts of the audio, and answers where relevant. The transcripts for the Aim at the Exam sections contain suggested responses to the questions, but of course, alternative responses which are communicatively valid should also be encouraged.
