A clear presentation of where you are in the book is given at the top of each page. Instructions are given in English in the units but in the Your turn homestudy section, instructions are given in German because learners are working alone. The handy Out and Aboutbooklet allows learners to continue practising their English outside the classroom. The topic of each unit is developed in Out and Aboutand learners are given related cultural information, Internet links, out-of-the-classroom tasks and tips how to improve their learning. TwoCDs come with the book. When the CDs are played on a CD player, the learner can access the listening exercises on the Your turn pages. CD 2 is a combined CD/CD-ROM and serves a dual purpose: When it is played on a computer, students can also access the Recap material for all units. Here students are talked through the main parts of the unit and can orally practise the structures and functions from the previous unit.

Hello, I am Vanessa Clark. After a degree in modern languages and my postgraduate studies in education in the UK, I ran away to Munich 'for one year' and stayed for eight years as an English teacher and later as a Director of Studies. My classroom experience with adult learners in Germany and my teacher training role there is what I've found most useful in writing Refresh Now, Network Now and English Compass, as good coursebooks must be designed with both learners and teachers in mind. I now teach EFL back home in the UK and keep my connection with Germany through my work for Ernst Klett Sprachen.
