Heads Up 2, Student's Book + Audio CD

Heads Up Level 2

Spoken English for Business

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.

Each level of Heads Up is divided into 40 two-page units and provides around 40 hours of core material. At each level the 40 units get right to the heart of the students’ needs and wishes, with the units divided into three sections: ‘My Job’, ‘My Business’ and ‘The Bigger Picture’.

•each unit’s topic development is a springboard to the final Task in which students speak about their own work contexts
•each unit is self-contained, allowing students the flexibility of choosing the topics that interest them most and best fulfil their needs
•the course is suitable for normal class use and some guided self-study
•each level comprises of a Student’s Book accompanied by audio CD
