All students want and need to participate in real discussions. Summit systematically goes beyond conversation model practice and has unique step-by-step discussion builders that enable students to prepare for successful discourse. This results in increased accuracy, increased fluency, greater complexity of expression, richer use of vocabulary, and much less fossilization.

The Summit Complete Assessment: Ten easy-to-administer and easy-to-score unit achievement tests assess listening, vocabulary, grammar, social language, reading, and writing. Two review tests- one mid-book and one end-of-book- provide additional cumulative assessment. Two speaking tests assess progress in speaking. In addition to the photocopiable achievement tests, ExamView software enables teachers to customize tests that best meet their own needs.   A two-level high-intermediate/advanced course, Summit is the perfect next step for learners who have completed a beginning to intermediate level course. Summit develops competence and confidence in all four skills.
