First Certificate Avenues, the motivating new FCE course, has been completely revised to meet the requirements of the new December 1996 syllabus. While retaining its engaging topics and its strengths in the areas of grammar, vocabulary and the skills of speaking and writing, this revised edition has been completely updated. There is thorough coverage of all the skills and techniques that students need to face the five papers of the revised exam with confidence. Each unit contains information about and practice in the various exam task types, while new test exercises at the end of each unit reflect the type of exercises found in Paper 3 of the 1996 syllabus. A Workbook (available in with-key and without-key editions) and a Workbook Cassette, to offer the student further practice in the skills and language work presented in the Student's Book, will be available late 1996.
