The Student’s Book has eight units, each with four lessons, plus a Unit Opener and a Review section. Each unit contains:
A unit opener featuring vlogs filmed by real people from around the world together with a mini task to engage learners with the topic of the unit, plus learner-friendly Global Scale of English Learning Objectives
Two main input lessons (A and B), covering the four skills plus Grammar, Vocabulary and Pronunciation, all based on GSE learning objectives, and leading towards a final GSE-based skills output task
A functional language or ‘How to ..’ lesson where learners learn and put into practice real-world language that will help them in everyday situations, such as order a meal in a restaurant, getting help in shops, and phoning for information; this lesson links to an interactive speaking practice activity for students to do outside the classroom and receive feedback, and also links to a standalone mediation lesson in the Mediation Bank
A BBC video lesson with preview tasks to spark interest and set expectations, activities based on language points from the videos, and speaking and writing tasks based on the video themes; the video lessons alternate between a programme clip from the BBC archive and bespoke BBC street interviews
A review section providing practice of the language from the unit plus listening and pairwork speaking activities to consolidate learners’ understanding
