Course Overview

Real situations, real language, real outcomes

Outcomes is the only course that is consistently focussed on helping students achieve the real-world communicative outcomes they want and need. Now with a brand-new Beginner level, this lexically rich course emphasises students’ need to have the conversations in English that they would in their own language.

Containing contemporary and global content, Outcomes reflects English as it is used in the real-world.

Outcomes contains:

• A clear, evenly paced grammar syllabus with strong links to context. The grammar is presented and practised using guided discovery and is supported by a highly accessible Grammar Reference.
