Cambridge is your classroom
Cambridge has an international reputation for the teaching of English and English as a Foreign Language. The English language has been studied here in one form or another since 1584. It is home to two universities: the University of Cambridge which is among the top three in the world, and Anglia Ruskin University which traces its origins back to 1858 when the artist and architect John Ruskin opened the Cambridge School of Art.
It is also the home of two major institutions, Cambridge English, and Cambridge Assessment which produce most of the teaching books for English, and many of the examinations of English in the world, including the IELTS test and the Certificate of Proficiency in English.
The city of Cambridge is one of the world’s most dynamic and successful business communities. A city which is small enough to cross in one hour by bicycle and yet home to some of the most powerful corporations and research centres in the world. It is also without question one of the most beautiful and most cultured cities in the world.
Cambridge has a diverse economy with strength in sectors such as research & development, software consultancy, high value engineering, creative industries, pharmaceuticals and tourism. It was described as one of the "most beautiful cities in the world" by Forbes magazine and tourism generates over £300 million every year for the city's economy.
California has its ‘Silicon Valley’, but Cambridge is known as ‘Silicon Fen’ because of the density of high-tech businesses and technology incubators that have developed on science parks around the city. Many companies have been spun out of the university and Cambridge Science Park is the largest commercial Research & Development centre in Europe. ARM, one of our biggest companies, designs microprocessors and licences them to computer companies around the world. If you own a smartphone, a computer or a tablet, you can be 90% sure the microprocessors in it come from Cambridge. Microsoft has located its Microsoft Research UK offices in West Cambridge.
Because of all this activity, the town is populated by international, talented, bright people from all over the world. There really is nowhere else quite like Cambridge.

Tesol preparation manual
Each module consists of two, three or four units. Each unit is divided into chapters.
Each module is designed to take an efficient and busy person 5.5 hours to complete, not including homework. Some chapters are long, others are short. The size of each chapter depends on how much information you need about the subject.
This is a manual, not a book. If you think about the contents in a manual for a car, then the section about the engine would be very large but the part about the door might be quite small by comparison. So it is with our teaching manual.
