Viewpoint Level 1 Student's Book by Michael McCarthy

by Michael McCarthy

Viewpoint is an innovative course that's based on extensive research into the Cambridge English Corpus, taking students to a higher level of proficiency to become effective communicators. Viewpoint Level 1 Student's Book is for young adult and adult students who have reached an upper-intermediate level of English proficiency (B2). Each of the 12 units in this level teaches the language, skills, and strategies that students need to progress beyond intermediate level and to speak and write in English naturally, effectively, and appropriately. From the same author team as the ground-breaking Touchstone series, Viewpoint 1 also draws on the Cambridge International Corpus which underpins a highly effective approach to teaching English language.

Reviews

[Pooneh Mgh]

It was a book without creativity. Not enjoyable, with dozens of easy listening s and super easy practices. It doesn't stimulate students , it doesn't attract them, it doesn't teach them useful vocabulary and expressions. It absolutely needs some complementary books to be teaching.
what it does is encouraging students to speak out of book more in the class, because the book has nothing to concentrate on!
