Lessons are designed to consolidate language and act as a springboard for further speaking and writing tasks.   Each unit follows the pattern: • An introductory lead-in page with learning objectives • Two main input lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and skills work, • A functional lesson, which develops useful communication skills and includes strategies for developing speaking and listening skills • A motivating skills consolidation lesson based on a BBC DVD clip. These act as a springboard for further speaking and writing tasks. • The unit culminates with a page of Lookback exercises.   Each Students' Book has: • Ten to 12 units with 90 to 120 hours of teaching material (depending on level) • Comprehensive Language Bank with detailed explanations and extra practice. • Photo bank to expand vocabulary. • Audio and video scripts. • Refreshed with new visuals and texts, including content from the BBC and other sources. • A revised vocabulary syllabus with more recycling of language. • Clear signposting on the page to make teaching and learning easier.   The DVD has: • BBC clips and interviews, and audio material for use in class.
