insight will challenge, develop, and inspire your students as well as equip them with the skills they need for lifelong learning. insight is a new five-level English course for secondary students. It is a thought-provoking course which will challenge your students to reach their full potential. • Thought-provoking topics and information-rich texts will challenge your students' opinions, educate them about the world they live in, and inspire classroom discussion. • A coherent and systematic vocabulary syllabus, Vocabulary insight pages, and a ten-page Vocabulary bank explore vocabulary in greater depth. • Culture pages in every unit and related DVD material will broaden your students' understanding and knowledge of the customs, traditions, and history of English-speaking countries. • All school-leaving exam topics are covered, and exam-like tasks appear throughout to help prepare your students for their exam. Insight into vocabulary With insight your students will learn about more than the meaning of new vocabulary. Your students will develop a deeper awareness of how language works and the confidence to use it. • Your students will learn about the ‘rules' of vocabulary such as collocation, word building, register and connotation, and gain a comprehensive understanding of vocabulary. • Vocabulary insight pages focus on dictionary and thesaurus skills and equip your students to explore language further. • A ten-page Vocabulary bank presents extra key topic-based vocabulary. • A unit-by-unit wordlist with dictionary-style definitions gives your students more information about core vocabulary. Learner strategies Strategy boxes in every unit use a ‘how to' approach and guide your students step by step to improve their language and learning skills and prepare them for a life of learning. They are integrated into the lessons so that students can practise the strategies immediately, incorporate them into their skills set, and develop the confidence to become autonomous learners.
