Four-skills English course with fun lessons, digital resources and strong online support - loved by students and teachers at every level.

"Texts must be interesting enough for students to want to read them in their own language. Otherwise, how can we expect students to want to read them in English?"

This is the authors' golden rule when they choose texts and topics for every level of New English File.

It ensures you get material that learners will enjoy reading and will want to talk about. Texts such as 'Are there really 31 hours in the day?' really help to generate opinion and discussion.

They create a desire to communicate.

So, having created the desire, New English File then helps you to develop learners' communication skills. One way it does this is with a strong focus on pronunciation.

Research shows that poor pronunciation is a major contributor to breakdowns in communication (Jennifer Jenkins: The Phonology of English as an International Language, Oxford University Press).

New English File integrates pronunciation into every lesson - the 'little and often' approach - but that's not all.

The unique English File Sounds Chart puts a picture to each sound in the phonetic alphabet, so learners find it easier to remember the sounds and, ultimately, improve their pronunciation.

With texts that make learners want to speak, plus the support that lower-level learners need, New English File Elementary is the course that gets students talking.

It gives you full skills coverage and a clear focus on pronunciation. The Practical English lessons (with video) cover high-frequency phrases.
