Great Expectations

Extensive reading improves fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for hand-picked classics of English literature that are simplified and adapted for students in an accessible and engaging way. Great Expectations is one of Charles Dickens' most popular novels, its colourful characters and strong story inspiring numerous film and TV adaptations. This simplified version condenses the novel for students of English and is interspersed with stills from the recent film adaptation starring Helena Bonham-Carter and Ralph Fiennes.
