Coursebook Overview
This Coursebook was replaced by the 2024 3rd Edition. The main difference if that we removed Leave This Song Behind which was replaced by poetry readings in the new Coursebook.

Students continue to develop their grammar skills through a detailed study of sentence structure and common writing pitfalls. Books from diverse viewpoints and time periods help students gain perspective on the art of writing and writing as social commentary.
