With its main focus on reading and writing, Initiative is appropriate for groups of adults/young adults who prefer a more serious approach to language, perhaps as part of their academic studies. The course emphasises vocabulary work and grammar exercises in order to ensure success in written assignments.

'... the material is fresh and stimulating. There's plenty of work on vocabulary and collocation, but where Initiative really comes into its own is in its treatment of reading and writing skills. This book serves its purpose very well ... it is pleasant to use and should prove popular among more serious high-level learners.' The TEFL Farm, 2001 'Coursebooks for advanced learners are all too rarely seen on the ELT market but this one contains 15 units of valuable material. Attractions include ... the unusually interesting reading passages with selections taken from newspapers, magazines and literary texts.' EL Gazette
