Contatt: Complete Pack Level 1

Contatti, along with Pasos and Facon de Parler, has been a huge success over the last decade with the book regularly appearing in the top 30 non-fiction bestsellers in the autumn. Having brought out Contatti 2 last year, the time has come to update Contatti 1 in order to consolidate its position as the best-selling Italian evening class course in the UK. The Complete pack contains the revised editons of the Student Book, the Support Book and two audio cassettes. The Student Book for the first part of the course introduces the key structures of the language over 14 thematic lessons with the emphasis placed firmly on communication. It is ideal for group and individual study and covers the skills and structures required at GCSE level. The changes for the second edition are not large scale, with exercises and realia updated where necessary, grammar explanations improved and some new photos and artwork. The use of English is kept to a miniumum after the first two units in line with current practice. References to the internet and modern technology are included in the new edition, and Lire have been altered to Euros ready for the big changeover in January 02.
The familiar layout has been retained with small improvements to the design: new chapter openers and running headlines make for easier reference and box styles have been standardised. The Support Book provides a key to all the exercises in the Student Book along with full tape transcripts and the two audio cassettes, recorded by native speakers both on location and in studio, feature a wide range of listening materials. For the second edition, the Support Book has been updated to reflect changes to exercises in the Student Book and the cassettes have been revised to take into account the changeover from Lire to Euro.
