Starter – Intermediate
Ingrid Freebairn, Jonathan Bygrave, Judy Copage and Liz Kilbey
Teenagers are bright, energetic and upbeat. They live in an exciting world where
they are constantly exposed to sounds and visual imagery, surrounded by
technology which they use with ease. At the same time teenagers’ lives can be
complicated as they face difficult life changes and complex moral issues for
the first time. Upbeat aims to stimulate students’ interest through exciting teen
topics and problem-solving activities, addressing more serious social themes.
By engaging teens both emotionally and intellectually, our new secondary
course Upbeat! offers students a positive and stimulating learning experience.
Hosted by a group of teens with whom students can easily identify, and with 4
levels and an incredible range of components, Upbeat! will:
✓ motivate and maintain interest – with its careful balance of
contemporary, age-appropriate topics, intellectually-stimulating puzzles and
activities that match students’ skills and interests
✓ enable all students to succeed – through exercises in a variety of
entertaining formats in the Language Builder, the Motivator, the Multi-ROM
and the DVD
✓ develop students’ sense of responsibility and citizenship through
engaging, educational themes
✓ answer to teachers’ specific needs – with extensive support for
dealing with large group mixed ability classes, classroom discipline and
specific learning difficulties

Energy
Beginner - Intermediate
Steve Elsworth and Jim Rose
A common complaint among teachers of teenagers is that learners fail to
retain new language once they have been exposed to it in the classroom,
particularly vocabulary items. Students appear to lack the necessary skills to
make them efficient language learners.
Designed with the advice and help of students and teachers from around the
world, Energy gives learners the tools and training they need to learn, remember
and use new language with confidence. It is carefully put together to cut down on
teacher-planning time and make learning English more memorable for students.
✓ No more surprises! The logically staged grammar syllabus and carefully
controlled vocabulary syllabus at each level ensure that students do not
have to cope with unexpected or unnecessary words or structures
✓ Use it or lose it! Memory Gyms and Writing Gyms that provide students
with stimulating activities to allow for new language to be reused in order for
it to fix in the students’ brain
✓ Everything in one place. The Wordstore vocabulary notebook which
accompanies the Students’ Book offers practical tips for improving memory,
visual exercises to practise key items, and plenty of space to record new
language
