Six-level general English course for adults The second edition of New Headway Intermediate contains a modified syllabus and extensively updated material from the first edition. Each unit covers language input - language focus, vocabulary, spoken English - and skills development (reading, speaking, listening, and writing) to create a complete syllabus for students. Throughout the book, Music of English and Spoken English help students' speaking. These features show learners how to use tone, stress, and informal phrases to express the right meaning and sound natural in conversation. Key features Fascinating, authentic material that will capture students' imaginations. The 'Test your grammar' section at the beginning of every unit challenges students' knowledge of the language. Grammar questions involve students in language analysis, which is practised through a wide range of exercises. The 'Grammar Reference' at the back of the Student's Book gives clear, detailed rules of form and use. All four skills are developed systematically and integrated through related tasks. There are a wide range of manageable listening exercises. A well-defined vocabulary syllabus covers systems as well as lexical sets. Pronunciation practice is integrated at appropriate points throughout the units. The 'Postcript' section looks at everyday idiomatic English and the grammar of spoken English.
