Oxford Discover Futures is a six-level course, created to address the evolving needs of secondary-level learners of English in the 21st century.

  • Providing content that is relevant, informative, and educational.
  • Allowing students to consider key questions and to reflect on and reconsider their responses as they develop their understanding
  • Challenging students to think critically about topics, issues, and questions.

  • Developing strategies that help students perform well in academic study and examinations.
