Topic-based units
Bridges offers clearly structured, thematic units that practise all language skills, leading students to a high level of communicative competence in both oral and written work.

Vocabulary
Bridges pays special attention to vocabulary development and looks at easily confused words, idiomatic language and word-building techniques. The Workbook includes a unique Vocabulary Builder designed to increase students' wordpower.

Language and Culture
The topics in Bridges are carefully chosen in order to use the English language as a bridge to other areas of the Bachillerato curriculum and to expand students' general knowledge and familiarity with aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture.
