The Nelson Proficiency Course

These are the cassettes for "The Nelson Proficiency Course", which was highly commended in the 1990 Duke of Edinburgh English Language Competition. The course places particular emphasis on vocabulary development, grammar and reading. Much of the listening material was recorded "live" ouside the studio and aims to provide interesting speakers and authentic accents. The course features: new reading material; grammar approached from a deductive viewpoint; a variety of writing tasks, with guidance on content, organization, style, exam technique and summary writing; a language awareness section; and exercises in the format of Proficiency papers one and three. Revised editions of the course's students' book and teacher's book are available.
