Viewpoint is an innovative course that's based on extensive research into the Cambridge English Corpus, taking students to a higher level of proficiency to become effective communicators. Viewpoint 2 Student's Book is for young adult and adult students who have reached an upper-intermediate level of English proficiency (C1). Each of the 12 units in this book teaches the language, skills, and strategies that students need to progress beyond intermediate level and to speak and write in English naturally, effectively, and appropriately. From the same author team as the ground-breaking Touchstone series, Viewpoint 2 also draws on the Cambridge International Corpus which underpins a highly effective approach to teaching English language.
In this level we will cover the 4 units (1-4)ViewPoint2
