New Vistas Student pre book is the first level of a five-level communicative series designed for adults in the U.S. and abroad. This revision corrects some pedagogical deficiencies in the previous edition and adds more classroom interactivity to the methodology.

New Vistas, by H. Douglas Brown, is a completely revised five-level integrated series appropriate for high school or adult education students who are at a true beginning through high-intermediate level. The series empowers students to meet the challenges of each unit, and carefully recycles and reinforces language so students can produce language while feeling confident with their ability. New Vistas engages students in a variety of creative exercises, games, and activities. And the books go beyond the classroom, with "Strategies for Success" sections.
