The New Leaders Upper Intermediate Coursebook

The New Leaders Upper Intermediate coursebook was designed taking into consideration the special characteristics of the teenage students to whom it is addressed. The series aims to enable students to reach upper intermediate level. The book consists of 25 units which are divided into five themed sections:

• Lifestyles: students can contrast different ways of life
• Leaders in the fields: the section starts with Jacques Cousteau and includes other remarkable people
• Green issues: a section that focuses on wildlife as well as issues affecting our environment, like food and transport
• Art and Culture: this section brings together creative refugee women, young people’s cultural interests, literature and crafts
• Towards the future: this section looks at personal choices, robots, the media and the world in the future

The key features of the book are the practice in all skills, the innovative reading texts of appropriate length, the clear and succinct presentation of grammar, the graded tasks in Vocabulary and Grammar, the carefully designed Speaking and Writing tasks which lay the groundwork for FCE level, the cross-curricular pages and the projects.
