Heads Up is a practical student-based speaking course devised to meet the overriding need
in-work students have to become operational in spoken English as quickly and efficiently as
possible. Heads Up addresses the lack of time these one-to-one or group learners often have and
the need for streamlined materials targeting their own needs in their own world of work. The
materials in Heads Up help students to successfully achieve speaking skills development by
providing careful preparation leading up to personalised tasks supported by consistent
pronunciation practice and teacher feedback. The forty short units per level of Heads Up get
right to the heart of the students' needs and wishes and are divided into three sections: 'My
Job' 'My Business' and 'The Bigger Picture' with considerable input invited from students. The
topics encourage students to talk about their own work contexts while the activities naturally
stimulate and motivate learners with personalised tasks. Key features: - Offers extensive
listening and speaking practice with personalised tasks - Provides regular pronunciation work
with attention to elision stress and intonation - Suitable for normal class use and some
guided self-study - Student's Book accompanied by audio CD
