travel agencies--and focuses on the employees dealing with
customers in a variety of typical situations. The course

it is easy to use. The 50 units are grouped into ten thematic
modules. The course develops all four skills: listening,
speaking, reading and writing, but places particular emphasis
on getting students to carry out realistic and engaging
communicative tasks. The Student's Book, which is in colour,
