This easy-to-use course provides complete preparation for the First Certificate in English exam. Fourteen units containing short, at-a-glance lessons give learners a sense of achievement. The combination of systematic language development, exam training and lively class activities make First Certificate Direct informative and fun. The Teacher's Book includes fourteen photocopiable progress tests in exam format.

In addition to the traditional emphasis at this level on skills development, The Cambridge CAE Course focuses on other areas of language such as pronunciation, vocabulary extension, functional language and style. The Self-study Student's Book contains introductory notes on the CAE papers and self-study techniques, together with annotated keys and tapescripts.
