| Synopsis: |
A 4-level course for secondary and for schools with fewer contact hours (2-3 per week). It starts at A1 and ends at B1. The course will meet different sales and marketing needs primarily in our CEE markets (incl. Russia and Turkey, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) and will be treated as replacement/alternative to Smash and Tempo. Some markets will be looking to reach out to new segments of secondary, others will be targeting whole new markets that we're not present in, and finally, just having an alternative course for this segment to take to our customers is seen as a welcome opportunity to increase Macmillan's market share in lower secondary. The course is a version of the Spanish ESO course Interface and offers a solid and well-paced approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the four skills in equal balance and with emphasis on mixed abilities. The material stands out with its thorough and comprehensive grammar.- Solid, well-paced, balanced approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the four skills - Engaging and age-appropriate reading texts and tasks - Well-structured and well-supported methods for the teaching and practising of the productive skills (speaking and writing) -Predictable unit structure offering the teacher and the student a welcome sense of security - A wealth of support features and tips, making the learning experience more memorable and effective - Reliable, cumulative approach to revision - Strong culture and CLIL features in every unit - Workbook (incorporating its own audio) providing an outstanding resource for additional practice and consolidation through a wide variety of activities and strategies |
