This is a two-stage course developed specifically to take account of changes to the post-16 syllabuses. The first stage, easing the transition from GCSE and equivalent examinations to AS Level, while stage two leads on to success at A2. As with "Nouvelles Perspectives", the course adopts a regionally-based approach while at the same time covering the range of required social and cultural topics. Material within each of the six units is fully differentiated, and grammar is systematically introduced from within the texts. This book has a well-organized structure, with every unit charting a clear progression.
