Lesson Types

This award-winning program is designed especially for ages 11-17. It prepares students to use English in school and in school subject areas like math, science, geography and history.

Each unit has 5 lesson types, including Warm-Up, School Life, School Subjects, Language Extension, and Speaking Up. Key vocabulary and grammar are introduced and recycled throughout in a carefully structured sequence designed to help students acquire the English language skills they need as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Warm-Up Lessons use pictures to present and extend the grammar and vocabulary of daily life. Sample topics include the seasons of the year, weather, transportation, descriptions of people and things, and occupations. The Grammar Focus section of the lesson gives students practice with key structures used within the lesson.
School-Life Lessons focus on conversational English in and around school. The main characters are a girl, age 16, and her brother, age 13. The setting is at an International School, with students from a variety of backgrounds. In addition, some lessons have special topics, such as a school lunch menu, a school map, and class schedules.
School-Subject Lessons rotate through various subject areas, including math, science, geography, world history, and English. Key vocabulary and grammar are developed and recycled in the context of each subject area. Students learn to understand the language of explanation, giving examples, classification, comparisons, numbers, and question formation.
World Talk Cards & Language Extension Lessons present general topics such as preferences, weather, occupations, and places of business. The language is presented in a game-like format and is followed up with comprehension questions and Grammar Focus exercises.
Speaking-Up Lessons give students the chance to take advantage of Speech Recognition technology to practice their speaking. These motivating exercises provide additional repetitions of key vocabulary, grammar, and important phrases introduced and practiced in earlier lessons.
