McGraw Hill New Interactions - The most trusted brand name in EAP
New Interactions is a five-level English for Academic Purposes (EAP) series for students at, or preparing to go to, a college, university or other higher education institution where teaching is through the medium of English, and/or there is a requirement to study English as part of their course.
Globally, New Interactions has been one of the most recognized and respected EAP series since its initial creation almost 30 years ago. The course is built on solid pedagogy and best practice principles, combined with ground-breaking technology provided by McGraw Hill’s award-winning Connect® platform.
