Hot Spot 5 is primarily a revision course with a strong focus on skills and vocabulary development. The grammar syllabus is predominantly a revision of levels 1-4 but some new (minor) grammar areas will provide opportunities for further vocabulary expansion. Level 5 is aimed at 15-year-olds and will have a much older feel than the previous levels of Hot Spot. Topics will be suited to the 15-year-old and will expand their knowledge of the world. There will be a lot less illustrated artwork and many more photos to appeal to that age range. Hot Spot 5 will also have the following additional features: word power sections comprising word building exercises (eg make and do, verbs with prepositions, collocations with on/get, verb/noun/adjective prefixes and suffixes, etc); an increase in the amount of skills work in all lessons; extra reading sections that will replace the Extra Specials (projects remain in these sections) and will include a variety of genres including stories, non-fiction, poems and plays — these texts will also be recorded; and, exam practice sections in the style of PET as well as some national state exams. Instead of packaging the CD-Rom with the Student's Book, we will be providing an MPO with further exam practice. Please note that the Teacher's Book will not be interleaved with SB pages for level 5 but will still include a Test CD at the back of the book and a photocopiable resources section. In addition to the photocopiables, the Teacher's Book will also contain extra 'grammar lessons' for those classes ready to be introduced to more advanced grammar areas such as present perfect continuous, third conditional.

The smash-hit debut novel for every woman who has ever had a complicated love-hate friendship. Rachel White is the consummate good girl. A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship. But that suddenly changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when Rachel finally confesses her feelings to Darcy's fiance, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way. As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience. In so doing, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself. This new tie-in edition will coincide with the release of the film, starring Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krasinski.

There is a significant market for a secondary course for students preparing for their school leaving exams. Macmillan does not currently publish specifically for this sector — currently adult courses and FCE courses fill the gap. Gateway is written specifically for upper/secondary students entering their final years of school. An academically rich, text based course, it includes lengthy authentic/semi-authentic texts connected to the school leaving topics and addressing the concerns of the age group. Students will be following an academic path and the progression of the course needs to reflect this. Developing Speaking and Developing Writing pages develop skills needed for success both in exams and for life-long learning through properly staged activities with additional models available online and in the teacher's book. The current trends/interest within ELT teaching in cross-curricular teaching, content-based learning and international culture will be reflected by the CLICK sections — Cross-curricular, Literature & International Cultural Knowledge — at the heart of every unit which examine the theme of the unit in a Cross-curricular, Literary and/ or Cultural light using integrated skills. Whilst not a Cambridge exams course Gateway helps students prepare and practice for their school leaving exams and equips them with life long learning and study skills.
