Grammar and Vocabulary Quick review p
Empowers students to use English with confidence through collaborative projects
In each unit, the WDYT? ( What do you think? ) question encourages
learners to reflect on the topic. The end-of-unit Project gives them
a meaningful opportunity to use the new language, knowledge
and skills in a personalized response to the question.
Introduces social and emotional skills through real-life situations relevant to teens
Personalization activities give students an opportunity to reflect
and apply social and emotional skills to their own lives. From simpler,
more positive emotions in lower levels to more complex social and
emotional situations in upper levels, these skills give students the
tools to deal with challenges in and out of the classroom.
Creates an inclusive classroom where everyone reaches their potential
Practical solutions for mixed-ability and mixed-level classes included
in the course ensure that those who either need an extra challenge
or to catch up get the best opportunities to do so.
Builds super skills to help students thrive in education and in life
The thorough and systematic development of the four Super
Skills – Critical Thinking , Creativity , Communication and
Collaboration – complements the comprehensive language
skills development in the course.
