Book Description: Develop Your English is a textbook for upper intermediate to advanced level English language learners (B2/C1) that offers perspectives on world issues alongside opportunities to develop English as an international language. Its innovative approach incorporates a global perspective into the language learning process through a focus on international themes, organised around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Each unit offers authentic texts (spoken and written) and a focus on grammar and vocabulary selected from the texts to examine and review. The interactive tasks that accompany the material encourage systematic vocabulary and language skills development, and invite the reader to communicate about the world, and themselves in the world. Develop Your English was a finalist in the 2024 British Council ELTons Awards for Innovation in English Language Teaching and Learning, and received the Judges’ Commendation for Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action.

Book Description
The sixteen units integrate global research summaries that offer learners perspectives on world issues alongside opportunities to develop their English as an international language for communication about the world and themselves in the world.
The interactive tasks in the 16 units encourage systematic vocabulary development, help extend a range of reading and listening skills as longer stretches of authentic text are tackled, and focus attention on grammatical and lexical items selected from the text (spoken or written) to examine and review. The deliberate recycling of ideas aids retrieval practice and offers learners opportunities to elaborate their understanding of the material and relate it to concrete examples from their own context, while encouraging the use of English to formulate complex responses to the material.
Develop Your English was a finalist in the British Council ELTons Awards for Innovation in English Language Teaching and Learning 2024 in the Excellence in Course Innovation category and received the Judges’ Commendation for Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action.
