A print and digital set for an optimized learning experience

Have the best of both worlds with this learning set, which includes the print Student Book, a DVD with BBC videos and the digital-platform MyEnglishLab. Included topics and activities were carefully chosen to provide students with stimulating material that would facilitate their learning.

A complete resource that will capture your students' interest

The manual is organized as follows:

• Each unit follows the same pattern, with:
  • An introductory page with learning objectives 
  • Two main input lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and skills work
  • A practical lesson, which develops useful communication skills and includes strategies for developing speaking and listening skills
  • A motivating skills-strengthening lesson based on a BBC DVD clip, which acts as a springboard for further speaking (Speakout) and writing (Writeback) tasks
  • A final page of Lookback exercises
• The end matter, at the back of each book, includes the following:
  • Language and practice bank, which provides detailed explanations of key grammar points and further practise opportunities
  • Photo bank, which reinforces vocabulary taught in the lesson using memorable images to enrich students' understanding
  • Communication bank, which provides further practice and language reinforcement opportunities, such as through role-playing, information gap activities, etc.
  • Audio scripts of each class audio, which allow students to do a quick self-check and learn the spelling of words that were spoken in class

Learn English by listening

A DVD with a great choice of BBC video clips also comes with the Student Book. The videos were chosen from a wide range of BBC programs, including documentaries, dramas and other entertainment. These clips also include on the street interviews filmed by the BBC. Therefore, students can familiarize themselves with spoken English through its different accents.
