LetÆs Speed Up! is a new method specifically tailored to the needs of students studying professional vocational courses on mechanics (Ciclos Formativos de la familia profesional de Transporte y Mantenimiento de Vehículos). The content of this course follows the syllabus of these studies. It provides students with the necessary basic skills of the English language to help them develop in todayÆs professional world of transport and the motor industry. With LetÆs Speed Up!, students can practise both the receptive and productive skills of the foreign language - listening, reading, writing and speaking - through up-to-date texts and motivating meaningful activities. The studentÆs book also includes grammar and vocabulary exercises so that students can use it as a workbook too. Besides individual and class work, students will also be required to work in teams to search for extra information to expand their knowledge (projects, websites, etc.). Special emphasis is placed on developing oral skills, as communication in English will be crucial for their professional development.
