The New Headway pre-intermediate student's book fourth edition is the best and most flexible for learning English. The best way to improve your English is to spend time in conversation with native speakers. The New Headway book helps you with that, as each unit contains a conversation with a teacher and a conversation with a student. Each unit is separated into listening and writing sections. The listening section is easy to listen to, while the writing section is more challenging.

Each listening section is followed by a tapescript, which provides a summary of the sentence. The student can choose to listen to the sentence again, to get a better understanding of the meaning. The student can also use the tapescript to go back to the previous sentence.
