Lessons are designed to consolidate language and act as a springboard for further speaking and writing tasks. Each unit follows the pattern: * an introductory lead-in page with learning objectives * two main input lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and skills work, * a functional lesson, which develops useful communication skills and includes strategies for developing speaking and listening skills * a motivating skills consolidation lesson based on a BBC DVD clip. These act as a springboard for further speaking and writing tasks. * The unit culminates with a page of Lookback exercises.
