Touchstone 2ed 1 SB

Touchstone, together with Viewpoint, is a six-level English program based on research from the Cambridge English Corpus. Touchstone uses a corpus-informed syllabus ensuring students are learning the language that people really use. Activities include a strong focus on inductive learning, personalized practice, and encouraging learner autonomy. Each Student's Book contains approximately 90 hours of material across 12 topic-based units - with additional grammar and pronunciation practice added for the Second Edition. Student's Book, Level 3 is at the low intermediate CEFR level (A2-B1).

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 2 Student's Book is for young adult and adult students who have reached the advanced level of English proficiency (C1). Each of the 12 units in this level teaches the language, skills, and strategies that students need to progress beyond upper-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 also draws on the Cambridge International Corpus which underpins a highly effective approach to teaching English language.

The Touchstone Teacher's Editions are fully interleaved and contain practical teaching notes, along with a wealth of optional activities. Detailed language notes based on corpus research give teachers special insights into English usage. Audio scripts, answer keys, and tests are also provided. An Audio CD contains the recordings for the listening tasks in the tests. Teachers can go into the classroom confident that they are fully equipped to teach students to be effective communicators.

Easy and enjoyable to teach, Touchstone offers a fresh approach to the teaching and learning of English. The Touchstone Class Audio CDs include the Getting Started, Speaking Naturally, and Building Vocabulary exercises, as well as grammar, conversation strategies, and listening activities, all recorded by fluent native and non-native speakers of English.
