This text is part of the Teach Yourself series. It takes a communicative approach to American English teaching and aims to meet the needs of all students requiring self-access material. The course is suitable for adults of an elementary level and those who may have studied English before, but now need to improve for social or business purposes. The text provides supplementary material to learners who are attending classes, a quick reference for travellers, and guidance for EFL teachers who are not confident using a communicative approach. A cassette and book/cassette pack is also available.
