To increase the learner's interest, the students are brought closer to the contemporary culture and aspects of everyday life in English speaking countries. The topics are concentrated on the shared interests of teenagers and young adults worldwide; selected themes range from popular free-time interests like television, music, fashion, food and holidays as well as professional subjects such as jobs, money, politics and science. Included are numerous ideas for encouraging discussions that are vital in order for each individual student to achieve their maximum learning potential in every lesson.  

There are 12 themed units in the workbook. Each themed unit has been planned as a resource book for one 45-60 minute lesson. The units contain a variety of activities to follow throughout the lesson. For convenience, symbols have been used for simple representation of instructions relating to activities. A key to these symbols is shown on the next page “Key to Symbols”. A symbol represents whether the activity is an individual, paired or group activity. If not marked otherwise, use the content as a textbook and ask students to read to the class.

For ESL/EAL/TEFL and other English language teachers, the workbook includes supplementary teaching notes and answer key. When planning the lesson, always check the teaching notes, as some activities require preparation (e.g. photocopying and cutting) and/or additional resources. Basic activity instructions are included with each activity, with additional notes concerning the rules of the activity or teaching instructions included in the teaching notes as and when required.
