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 is a finalist in the 2024 ELTons Innovation Awards, in the Excellence in Course Innovation category.
