Cambridge Interchange Course: Why EEC Uses the World’s Best English Curriculum

What makes EEC's Spoken English course different from every other coaching centre in Gujarat? The answer is one word: Cambridge. EEC is one of the few institutes in Gujarat that uses the Cambridge Interchange Course — a globally recognized English language teaching series published by Cambridge University Press, used in over 50 countries worldwide. This article explains what Interchange is, how it differs from generic Indian English textbooks, the complete level system, and why EEC chose Cambridge over cheaper local alternatives.

What Is Cambridge Interchange? (History, Publisher, Global Usage)

Cambridge Interchange is a multi-level English language course written by Jack C. Richards and published by Cambridge University Press — the publishing arm of the University of Cambridge, UK. First published in 1990, it has been revised multiple times and is currently in its 5th edition. It is used as the primary English teaching textbook in language schools, universities, and coaching centres across 50+ countries including Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Turkey, and India.

The Interchange series follows the communicative approach to language teaching. This means: students learn English by communicating — not by memorizing grammar rules. Every lesson involves speaking activities, pair work, role-plays, listening exercises, and real-life scenarios. Grammar is taught in context (as needed for communication), not as an isolated subject.

Why EEC Chose Cambridge Over Local Materials

EEC could have chosen cheaper, locally-produced English materials. Many coaching centres do. But EEC made a deliberate choice to invest in the Cambridge Interchange series for three reasons:

1. Proven global track record: Interchange has been used by millions of students across 50+ countries for 28-years. The methodology is research-backed and continuously updated. 2. Speaking-first approach: EEC's mission is to help people SPEAK English, not just study it. Interchange's communicative approach aligns perfectly with this. 3. Standardized quality: Every EEC branch, every trainer, every batch uses the same Cambridge material — ensuring consistent quality across all 26 branches.

Student Outcomes: Cambridge vs Non-Cambridge Courses

Students who complete Cambridge Interchange at EEC consistently outperform students from non-Cambridge coaching centres in: speaking fluency assessments, IELTS Speaking scores, PTE Speaking scores, TOEFL Speaking scores, job interview success rates, and overall confidence levels. The curriculum matters — and Cambridge is the gold standard.

“I tried two other institutes before EEC. They used photocopied notes and random YouTube videos. At EEC, the Cambridge Interchange textbook gave me a clear path \u2014 Intro to Level 2 in 4 months. The difference in curriculum quality is night and day.”
