Passages  is a new two-level, multi-skills course that takes learners of English as a foreign language from the high-intermediate to the advanced level. Written in North American English, Passages is designed to follow the New Interchange series or any other beginning to intermediate course. Level 1 takes learners from the high-intermediate level to the low-advanced level, presenting a range of thought-provoking topics for conversation, and more complex grammar points. Level 2 further extends the communicative abilities of learners, bringing them to an advanced level.
