Laser is now a five-level course, with the addition of two new levels, A1+ and A2, designed to cater to younger exam students, and now covers the entire span of secondary education. It is the perfect preparation for students still at school and working towards school-leaving exams and the Cambridge ESOL, KET, PET and FCE exams. The vibrant topic-based units cover the lexical and grammatical syllabus of the Breakthrough to Vantage levels of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework. The course integrates development of all the language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking, and regular revision sections check continuous progress. Each Student's Book comes with a CD-ROM that reinforces the structures and vocabulary learnt in each unit. Each Workbook is complete with Audio CD, making it ideal for homework, and the Teacher's Book includes a DVD-ROM with tests, a test generator and teacher-training videos. Class CDs are also available.

Laser A2 offers guidance and practice in KET-type exam tasks as well as all the usual Laser features-comprehensive vocabulary and grammar coverage, skills development and structured writing guidence. KET-type exams tasks are included in every unit. The Audio CD contains all the songs faetured in the Student's Book for classroom use.
