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. In addition, 'Primo Contatto' offers complete beginners a short practical introduction to Italian which can be used either as a stand-alone course or as an initial module before Nuovo Contatto A1.

Nuovo Contatto 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.

The course is supported by a wealth of free online resources including: teacher's guides, audiobooks to listen to in class, extra activities, videos, the course audio tracks, transcripts, glossaries and answer keys.

Volumes B1, B2 and C1 also offer supplementary worksheets and activities online that specifically support teaching of A-Level Italian and complement units from the book. Each complete volume (Manuale + Eserciziario) also comes with an activation code inside for the digital version of the book, accessible from the publisher's myLIM platform.
