A radical revision of the successful Streetwise course for teenagers, combining new material with the best of the original edition. — It appeals to teenagers through a modern, attractive magazine format and explores issues that teenagers want to talk about. Many of the topics have been revised and updated to keep the material fresh and relevant. — There is a thorough grammar syllabus. Grammar is taught in context — teaching points arise naturally from the reading or listening texts, showing how structures are really used. After every two units 'Grammar review' and 'Grammar practice' sections provide essential consolidation and further practice. — There is a balance of skills work throughout. Reading exercises have been added which provide a gentle introduction to FCE-style comprehension tasks. Writing work is given greater support, with a carefully structured guided writing syllabus. — The 'Getting Streetwise!' sections of the course focus on functional and situational language, as well as strategies for conversational English. — There is an emphasis on vocabulary development and word-building. — A range of exercises and activities cater for all abilities. — Six new songbook pages related to unit themes have a strong teen appeal. Each song provides a motivating context for reading, speaking and listening activities. — New Self-check and Self-test exercises at regular intervals encourage learner autonomy and self-assessment. |

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. |
