Acknowledgements

We would like to thank Sue Maingay for her help and encouragement during the writing of these materials and Jane Walsh for her constructive comments. Thanks also to Alison Steadman for all her work.

As the work has gradually evolved we have been lucky in the excellent reports that we have received from Janet Olearski, Alison Roberts and Bernard Hayden. We were able to try the materials out at the Cambridge Eurocentre and the Cambridge Regional College

(where Anita Harmer's comments were also extremely useful). Thanks to both organizations for allowing us to get valuable feedback.

Lastly, and with feeling, our gratitude is due to Anita and Annick for their support and patience.
