This popular First Certificate course has been updated to prepare students for the new examination syllabus introduced from December 2008. A clear organisation and fresh approach have already made it a popular route to success at FCE in many countries: thirty short units provide thorough training in exam skills, solid language development, and lively class discussion. The course is written by experienced authors who have an in-depth knowledge of the FCE exam, and understand the needs of both students and teachers alike. The Self-study Student's Book contains a self-study section with answers and advice to students studying independently.
