A stimulating and thorough approach to language learning, combinedwith focused exam preparation, has made First Certificate Masterclassone of the most successful and popular Cambridge English: Firstcourses available. As well as covering all the essential ground, thecourse fosters student autonomy throughout. Rather than merely listing grammar rules, the materials encourage students to work them out forthemselves. A freer approach to practice means that students' ownviews count: they can talk about themselves, and bring in their ownexperiences, and this in turn helps stimulate ideas for Writing andSpeaking. Personalisation also enables students to practise exam tasks without feeling they are just being 'groomed' for exam success.
