American Inspiration is a motivating and sophisticated four-level English course that takes teenage students from beginner to a high intermediate level. The material evolves with its students and the different topics reflect teenagers changing needs and interests.
The key features include:
Topic-led syllabus
The cross-curricular syllabus, informed by research in high schools, offers a wealth of stimulating materials relevant to the students lives. Special Culture lessons build cross-cultural awareness and encourage discussion.
Clearly structured grammar
Grammar is presented through engaging texts and dialogues. Controlled practice then leads to fluency activities where students apply the grammar in communicative situations
Skills development
Skills work is present throughout. Each unit also includes a dedicated Integrated Skills lesson. Writing is developed progressively and learner independence tasks encourage students to learn how to learn.
Inspiration Extra!
These consolidation and extension activity spreads at the end of each unit are designed for mixed-ability groups. They offer creative project work, authentic songs, games, and skits to act out.
