Heads Up Level 1

Spoken English for Business

Heads Up is a practical two-level student-based speaking course, devised to meet the overriding need of in-work students at pre-intermediate and intermediate level to become operational in spoken English as quickly and efficiently as possible. Heads Up addresses both the lack of time these one-to-one or group learners often have and the requirement for streamlined materials that target their needs in their own area of work. Heads Up helps students to successfully develop their speaking skills by providing careful preparation leading up to personalised tasks, supported by vocabulary input and regular pronunciation practice.
