With the help of feedback from teachers and students this second edition of the Contatto course has been fully updated, enriched with extra units featuring cultural dossiers, improved exercises and engaging audio-visual content. Ideal for both adolescent and adult learners from beginners through to advanced level of Italian.

The course takes a well-rounded pragmatic approach to language learning, quickly developing communicative skills in addition to grammatical knowledge, with a keen focus on developing students vocabulary. Each unit comprises four clear parts dedicated to the acquisition of functional language, topical vocabulary, grammar and improved pronunciation. Helpful revision summaries conclude each unit, followed by a cultural focus point and end-of-unit test. Further exercises and a comprehensive grammar appendix are also provided.

Each level is supported by a wealth of free online resources including teacher's guides, additional activities and videos. Audio tracks, transcripts, glossaries and answer keys can be accessed online in addition to a digital version of the books.*

*The audio and video material for Nuovo Contatto C1 is also available on the accompanying discs where provided. The teacher's guide is also available separately as a printed book.
