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)

• A revised vocabulary syllabus with more recycling of language. 
• Clear signposting on the page to make teaching and learning easier.
