There are Resource Packs with photocopiable activities for pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate and advanced students. The Resource Packs contain a broad range of ideas and activities with accompanying teaching notes. There are up to three photocopiable worksheets for each unit in the Student’s Books, and these are designed to match the language focus of that unit. A large team of teachers working in the UK and abroad have contributed to the Resource Packs, making them rich and varied supplements to the course.
