Center Stage 2 Student Book

Center Stage - the all-inclusive, four-level program for standards-based language and lifeskills instruction. Realistic, engaging themes offer authentic contexts in which grammar practice is integrated with speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The unique combination of the Center Stage Student Book with the Lifeskills and Test Prep Book addresses both functional lifeskills and explicit grammar objectives.
