Student-Centered for Maximum Student Involvement 

This six-level General English course is designed with student output at the heart of the learning process, through a task-based approach for all four skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary acquisition. 

The Workbook and the Student Book: a Perfect Pair! 

Connections  does more than teach English; it gets students to engage with real-life skills that will benefit them in personal, academic, and workplace environments. By providing extra reading, listening, writing and speaking practice, the workbook is the perfect companion to the student book for teachers and students who prefer a traditional book to online practice.
