A topic-based, three-level course which takes a fresh look at the needs and learning styles of young teenagers.

Key features

• The course builds on the progress made in English at primary level, so that students don't have to start from the beginning again.
• The units are topic-based, with a great deal of fascinating authentic material about the real world. Students are encouraged to contribute from their own knowledge, opinions and feelings. Pairwork and groupwork activities reinforce thecommunicative emphasis.
• There is an innovative 'use-it-first' approach. New language is first presented through a skills activity. This is followed by a 'Looking at Language' box in which students are asked to deduce and practise the grammar rule using the language from the activity.
• There is also an innovative 'multi-skills' approach, which means that skills are practisedtogether within activities rather than kept separate, resulting in greater variety and more natural language use. Icons show clearly which skills are being practised.
• The course encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. It fosters student independence with activities such as vocabulary record-keeping, self-evaluation, and a guided choice of practice activities toimprove areas of weakness. Each unit also includes a self-evaluation sheet and self-evaluation quiz.
• It has been designed specifically to overcome the problems of mixed-ability classes. There is a full range of extension activities for stronger students, extra support for weaker students, graded grammar practice exercises, and mixed-ability pairwork.
• Regular raps, songs and chantsprovide excellent pronunciation and listening practice in each unit, as well as adding greatly to students' enjoyment of the course.
