The grammar has been selected using Collins Corpus research and the experience of Collins language specialists, so students see authentic examples of English used in context. The book is clearly structured and easy to navigate, with plenty of space for answers and a full answer key at the back.
At B2, this makes a particularly useful book for filling gaps. Students don’t necessarily need another explanation of every grammar point they have encountered over the years. They often need a chance to revisit a particular area, practise it properly and see where the problems still are. Teachers can dip into individual units for targeted practice or revision, while students can use the book independently to work on their own weaker areas. The included answer key makes both approaches straightforward.
Lair’s tip: Every few weeks, choose a grammar area that students are expected to know at B2 and give them a short independent practice session. Let them complete a selection of exercises and check their own answers afterwards. Rather than turning every mistake into another whole-class grammar lesson, use the results to see what actually needs attention. Some students may discover that a supposedly familiar structure could do with another round of practice, while others can simply move on. It’s an easy way to make revision more targeted, and it requires very little extra preparation from the teacher.
