The content of the textbook can be applied to any other subject or area and even any postgraduate or professional interested in improving their communicative competence and their foreign language abilities in English. The starting level to fulfil these topics is European Level B1 of CERFL, and after the completion of this textbook, students are expected to have fully consolidated a B1+ level (Upper intermediate).

This volume has 5 learning units. Each unit has 10 sections with clear objectives and various practical exercises. There is also a section devoted to key words and also a self-learning grid that aims at promoting independent learning. Although unit 1 has a special section which provides some tips for vocabulary organisation and learning, the following units (from 2 to 5) are specially planned to allow learners to practise their written and oral expression.
