Sprint

Sprint is a new general English course for teenagers in four levels, taking students to the B1 level of competence of the CEFR.

The stimulating content, coming with both print and digital components, will help students to become passionate about language learning  and English-Speaking World.

Sprint is both teacher friendly and student friendly, thanks to the clear graphics and layout of the sections, as well as the precise cross referencing within the material.
