The books we use are the ‘Cutting Edge’ textbooks, published by Longmans, which is graded under the European Framework.
The series covers all levels, from starter to advanced, and comes with a full set of up-to-date teaching resources and useful as well as relevant syllabus.
Cutting Edge is a communicative course with a task-based approach that helps you achieve your goals. The contextualised practise of grammar and vocabulary makes the learning process more memorable and engaging. A wide range of contemporary topics and video materials helps you discover English in the context of the modern world.
Cutting Edge Third Edition builds on the distinctive task-based approach that has made previous editions of the course so popular.
Engaging texts, new video content and a comprehensive digital package are just some of the features that make this fully revised edition even more effective. New features include Language Live and World Culture lessons that actively encourage students to expand their knowledge of global issues and participate in classroom discussions.
