The Students’ Book is lively, colourful and easy-to-use. Specifically designed to reflect the lives and experiences of modern teenagers, the Upbeat Students’ Book aims to engage students both emotionally and intellectually. Each unit is divided into four lessons (A, B, C and D). Each A, B, and C lesson presents and practises a mix of grammar, vocabulary and functional language. Lesson D is focussed on skills development. It consolidates and extends the language presented in the preceding three lessons and provides further reading, listening, speaking and writing practice. Up-to-the-minute topics engage students’ interest. Real-life teen issues relate to students’ lives and develop a sense of citizenship. ‘Solve it’ fun problem-solving activities encourage cognitive development. ‘Across cultures’ and ‘Curriculum link’ skills lessons develop students’ knowledge of the world beyond the classroom. ‘Use your English’ activities practise communicative language in realistic contexts. Extra practice exercises in the Students’ Book engage fast finishers and support weaker students. The unique ‘Magic Bookmark’ aids memorisation of grammar. Students can place the Bookmark over a presentation dialogue or text. The key grammar words, which are printed in red, disappear when the bookmark is placed over them. Students then recall the missing words.
