Synopsis

Elementary Matters completes the four-part Matters series. It builds on the approach already established in the series, whilst introducing features specially designed for elementary/false beginner learners. Review units at regular intervals give extra practice and revision of the material. Each unit begins with a Focus on Vocabulary section featuring large functional photographs and illustrations to encourage vocabulary learning and revision. Key language is made easy to understand through step-by-step presentation, simple diagrams and grammar boxes. In addition, there is a language reference section at the back of each unit.
