Inspiration 3

Inspiration is a motivating and sophisticated four-level course designed to take teenagers (13-16 year olds) from beginner to intermediate level. It is a course that evolves with its students, the topics reflecting teenagers' changing needs and interests.

Key features:

The topic-led syllabus integrates distinct grammatical, lexical, pronunciation, skills and learner independence syllabi. This cross-curricular syllabus, informed by research in secondary schools, generates engaging texts and tasks.

The approach to grammar is clearly structured, and controlled practice leads to fluency activities where students apply the target grammar in communicative situations.

Careful attention is paid to skills development in language presentation lessons and in the Integrated Skills lesson in each unit. A staged programme of tasks develops students' writing skills.

The Integrated Skills lessons also focus on the development of learner independence.

Inspiration Extra! sections contain Revision and Extension exercises to cater for differences in ability. These pages also offer creative project work, songs, games, puzzles, poems, and sketches to act out.
