English for the real world

^D<`'English for Real^D>`' lessons equip students with the tools to uncover and master the hidden rules of English, by guiding them on how to respond appropriately in everyday situations.

Videos with the Wide Angle characters encourage learners to think about how to adapt language for different situations, activities guide them to understand and identify differences in language and behavior, and interactive video activities help them to put it into practice. Here students go online to record their response to a situation with the Wide Angle characters. They can play-back the conversation, record it again to improve their response, or send it to you for feedback. So when it comes to responding to situations in the real world, your students know what to say and how to say it.

Content from the real world

Wide Angle brings topics to life through vibrant photographs from world-renowned photographers. Each unit opens with a photo, thought-provoking questions, and a ^D<`'Real-World Goal^D>`' to inspire students to apply the learning to their own lives. Video interviews with the photographers give students unique insights into the story behind the photo, and provide them with real language models to follow.

Supported by a comprehensive syllabus

Every level includes reading texts or listening material from Oxford Reference DS a trusted source of over two million academic texts, to give your students authentic learning materials with real vocabulary. Students using Levels 4, 5 and 6 can explore even more content and look up topics of interest with their access to the Oxford Reference digital platform.

The vocabulary in Wide Angle is based on the Oxford 3000TM, a list of the most important words to learn in English. Levels 5 and 6 also feature vocabulary from the Oxford 5000TM DS an expanded word list for advanced learners of English. Every word in the Oxford 3000TM and Oxford 5000TM is aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), guiding students on the words they should know at each level.

Every unit focuses on developing all four skills, as well as a learner^D>`'s grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Skills boxes focus students^D>`' attention and give them practical information to take away and use outside of the classroom, and ^D<`'Grammar in Context^D>`' boxes present the grammar on the page at the right point in a student^D>`'s learning. Students go online to review the skills taught in every lesson, to practice their grammar and vocabulary, and to access all the course audio and video material.
