What's new in the 3rd edition of the Rivstart B1/B2 Textbook?

• REVISION - Review exercises assess learners' skills, reinforce knowledge and show their progress. Rivstart's fast-paced learning approach makes regular revision particularly important. That is why each chapter of the workbook now ends with two revision sections - one covering the current chapter and another covering all previous chapters. This helps learners monitor their language progress and consolidate their skills.

• As in previous editions, learners develop their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in Swedish.

• GRAMMAR - The new edition of Rivstart includes expanded grammar explanations in the textbook. There are also shorter introductory grammar exercises for each section. Grammar explanations are explored in greater depth in the workbook together with additional exercises.
