Welcome to Creative English Crossing the Bridge 1 Student Workbook. (intermediate) Nowadays Many EFL Students are in search of more conversational ways to pick up the English language. Mainly because of the importance of bringing into practice what they learn. Instead you want to be involved in the classroom, interact with your classmates, as well as practice real life situations. One of the best ways to do that is to create truly personalized Role-playing activities. Role playing has many beneficial characteristics, and especially in the EFL classroom. Many students have great problems to take the step from a Pre-intermediate level of English, to an Upper-intermediate level of English. All too often that step causes trouble because students don't get seriously involved in the classroom. For that reason we have created the "Creative English Crossing the Bridge" series.
