A race to be the first man at the South Pole, in Antarctica. Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman, left London in his ship, the Terra Nova, and began the long journey south. Five days later, another ship also began to travel south. And on this ship was Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian. But Antarctica is the coldest place on earth, and it is a long, hard journey over the ice to the South Pole. Some of the travellers never returned to their homes again. This is the story of Scott and Amundsen, and of one of the most famous and dangerous races in history. |

Two famous queens — Mary, the Catholic Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I, the Protestant Queen of England. It was an exciting and a dangerous time to be alive, and to be a queen. Mary was Queen of Scotland when she was one week old. At sixteen, she was also Queen of France. She was tall and beautiful, with red-gold hair. Many men loved her and died for her. But she also had many enemies — men who said: 'The death of Mary is the life of Elizabeth'. |

Inside, the White family sits and waits. Where is their visitor? There is a knock at the door. A man is standing outside in the dark. Their visitor has arrived. The visitor waits. He has been in India for many years. What has he got? He has brought the hand of a small, dead animal — a monkey's paw. Outside, in the dark, the visitor smiles and waits for the door to open. |

There has been a ghost in the house for three hundred years, and Lord Canterville's family have had enough of it. So Lord Canterville sells his grand old house to an American family. Mr Hiram B. Otis is happy to buy the house and the ghost — because of course Americans don't believe in ghosts. The Canterville ghost has great plans to frighten the life out of the Otis family. But Americans don't frighten easily — especially not two noisy little boys — and the poor ghost has a few surprises waiting for him. |

The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house. |

- Pacesetter is a four-level course for teenagers with a communicative approach. New language is presented in contexts relevant to teenagers and in ways which actively involve students in the learning process. — Grammar is the starting point of the syllabus. The problem-solving approach to grammar helps students to work out for themselves the meaning and use of structures. Practice activities help students use the grammar in everyday situations. — Motivating topics draw on students' own experiences and develop their interest in the world around them. — Integrated skills work presents students with a variety of activities that develop their confidence and fluency in speaking, reading, writing and listening. The variety of texts, discussions and dialogues is supported by practical tasks that help students to use and understand the new language. — A systematic vocabulary syllabus combined with learning-to-learn skills encourage students to develop their own strategies for remembering new words. — A lively photo-story in the first two levels presents informal language and a cultural reference as it follows the everyday lives of a group of British teenagers. The two upper levels contain a series of free-standing short stories which develop extensive reading skills. — Practical 'Learn to learn' features help students to develop their study skills, record new vocabulary and organize their language learning. — You can start the course either with Pacesetter Starter, which is for beginners, or Pacesetter Elementary, which is suitable for those who have achieved a basic level of English. — A helpful review section at the end of each unit summarizes the main learning points and provides a reference for revision work. — Three consolidation units in each level revise key grammar points, vocabulary and dialogues through controlled and freer activities. The projects at the end of these units provide an opportunity for students to produce more substantial and personal pieces of work. |

A two-level course that allows language to emerge naturally through songs, pictures, stories, and activities. — It creates a lively classroom atmosphere that encourages children to participate actively in every lesson. — The action centres around the adventures of an appealing group of children, their imaginary friend, their teddy, and their dog. The themes are central to children's lives and stimulate their imaginations. — New language is presented through chants, songs, pictures, and stories. There are no words in the Class Book, so children can concentrate on developing listening skills by linking the illustrations with what they hear. — A range of activities — drawing, craft work, games, and music — caters for different teaching techniques and situations while keeping young learners interested and involved. — Each unit has a story in the accompanying Story Book. The children follow the pictures and listen either to the teacher or the cassette in an enjoyable whole-class activity. The children have the pleasure of a shared experience, and the teacher is able to keep the ending a surprise. — The humorous, colourful illustrations maintain a high level of motivation. |

A three-level course reflecting the interests of young teenagers. — WOW! takes the form of a lively (fictitious) TV programme for young people which is itself called WOW!, or Window on the World. It appeals directly to young teenage learners by following the familiar conventions and genres of youth TV: quizzes, travel reports, documentary features, interviews and cartoons across a range of lively and often exciting topics. — It has a clear structural syllabus which provides students with a systematic and thorough foundation in grammar, from the simple present to the third conditional. Grammar points are clearly identified, explained, and practised through the imaginative contexts provided by the television programme format. — Everyday functional English is taught through regular, humorous cartoon sketches. Controlled development of all four language skills, pronunciation, and vocabulary are also systematically covered throughout the three levels. — Each level provides 90-120 hours of work and consists of twenty units divided into three parts. The first two parts present and practise new structures and functions, and the third part recycles the new language (through an exciting serial story in level 1, and through integrated skills development in levels 2 and 3). — Every second unit is followed by a revision and extension section which recycles and develops the grammar, vocabulary, and skills that have been covered in the units. — Supplementary Grammar and Practice Books at each level provide further explanations and practice of the grammar syllabus. The exercises are easy for the student to understand and can be done as homework or revision without the teacher's guidance. |
