The Activity Book plays an important role in consolidating and recycling the language presented in the Student's Book.

Hot Spot is aimed at the 'betweenagers' age group, bridging the gap between upper primary and secondary. Hot Spot makes the most of the growing identity of the young teenager through motivating texts and stories, lively illustrations and photography that bring learning to life. Each book contains seven theme-based modules, each made up of three double page lessons, a review section and an Extra Special! Integrated skills lesson. The course follows a transparent grammar syllabus while maintaining a balance of reading, writing and listening in every lesson. At every opportunity students are encouraged to personalise and practice their speaking skills.
