Each of the three levels consists of eight self-contained comic stories which provide a memorable and highly entertaining approach for learners. The syllabus is based on the Grapevine coursebooks, and each video sketch focuses on one of the main language areas covered by the course. The video is designed to be used for presentation of new language areas, in addition to revision and consolidation. The emphasis is on rapid vocabulary development within a gradual structural

progression so that learners achieve communicative competence. At each level the video is supported by an Activity Book for students and teachers.
