What's New in the Course?
Built around how students actually learn languages โ and what teachers told us they need most.
Increase motivation and engagement with task-based learning and real-world authentic learning contexts
Lessons are built around real-world scenarios and tasks, giving students an authentic purpose to use the language and therefore increasing classroom motivation and engagement.
Encourage active participation
Introductory lessons are designed to be used for front-of-class teaching and include integrated games and intercultural discussion slides to encourage active participation from the start. This is also a great support for non-specialist teachers.
Support mixed-ability classes
Each topic includes basic and extension versions of skills lessons, allowing you to support or challenge students in mixed-ability classes.
Break down speaking barriers
Clear audio support and scaffolded speaking practice help students overcome the barriers to speaking and build their confidence in oral communication.
Flexible reinforcement
A suite of printable worksheets and interactive activities provides structured support for offline work or homework without increasing your prep time.
