Interchange Workbook 3

Interchange Workbook 3 is the practice workbook for the third and final level of Interchange, the English course by Jack C. Richards published by Cambridge University Press. It is designed to be used alongside the Interchange 3 Student’s Book, following the same units so that each lesson in class can be reinforced with written practice.

The exercises give further work on the grammar, vocabulary, and language functions of the level: learners practise the structures they have met, build topic vocabulary, and complete short reading and writing tasks connected to each unit’s theme. The level assumes learners can already manage everyday conversation and are working toward more accurate, more fluent English for study, work, and travel.

Because the workbook mirrors the course unit by unit, it is equally useful as homework set by a teacher and as structured self-study practice for learners reviewing the level on their own.

Interchange Workbook 3 cover

Interchange Workbook 3 accompanies the final level of the Interchange course (Cambridge University Press), written by Jack C. Richards for adult and young adult learners of English. Where the Student’s Book introduces new language through listening, speaking, and reading in class, the Workbook provides the written practice that consolidates it: grammar exercises, vocabulary building, and short reading and writing tasks arranged in the same unit order as the main course book. Used together, the two books give learners a complete cycle of presentation and practice at this level. Teachers commonly set workbook units as homework after the corresponding class lesson, and independent learners use it to revise the level systematically.

About This Book

Interchange is one of the longest-running English courses for adult learners, written by Jack C. Richards and published by Cambridge University Press. The series runs from Interchange Intro through Levels 1, 2, and 3, and each level combines a Student’s Book for classroom use with a Workbook for written practice. Interchange Workbook 3 completes the series, supporting learners at the level where basic communication is already established and the goal becomes greater range, accuracy, and confidence.

What Learners Practise

Grammar in Context

The workbook takes each grammar point from the Student’s Book units and gives it extra written exercise: learners complete, correct, and produce sentences using the structures of the level, so forms are practised in meaningful contexts rather than as isolated drills.

Vocabulary Building

Each unit’s topic vocabulary is recycled and extended through word-building exercises, collocations, and short texts, helping learners move new words from recognition into active use.

Reading and Writing

Short reading passages with comprehension tasks and guided writing activities appear through the workbook, giving practice in the two skills that classroom conversation courses often have least time for.

Key Features

The workbook follows the Student’s Book unit by unit, which makes it simple to assign and to self-manage: one workbook unit matches one teaching unit. Exercises are varied in format and short enough to complete between lessons, and the material is written for adult and young adult learners, with topics drawn from everyday life, work, and travel.

Who This Workbook Is For

It is for learners studying with Interchange Level 3 — typically upper-intermediate students in language schools, colleges, and private study — and for their teachers, who need reliable homework and review material that matches the course exactly. Independent learners who have the Student’s Book can also use it as a structured revision course.

How to Use This Workbook

The natural pattern is to complete each workbook unit soon after the same unit has been studied in class, while the language is still fresh. Learners working alone can alternate: study a unit in the Student’s Book, then do the workbook exercises, and note any grammar point that still feels uncertain for a second pass later.

Related Books

Learners who want to revise the previous level first can use Interchange Workbook 2, which follows the same unit-by-unit pattern at Level 2. For extra grammar practice at a similar level, the English World Grammar Practice Book 6 offers additional structured exercises.
