Its 24 units engage, provoke and inform students as part of the process of developing their language skills. Theme units containing stimulating reading and listening texts, together with practice in spoken and written fluency alternate with language units, which develop accuracy in grammar, vocabulary, functions and pronunciation. Thus fluency and accuracy activities are combined to provide complete and balanced coverage of all the language areas and skills required by students at this level. Cambridge Advanced English • provides grammar revision and extension, covering the “problem areas” that advanced students still find difficult • integrates skills, with an emphasis on real-world tasks • develops vocabulary systematically in word-study sections • contains exercises on phrasal verbs and idioms in every unit, creating an invaluable resource bank for students • provides a wealth of stimulating and varied listening and reading material
