With insight your students get an insight into the world with topics that will inspire them to think. Interesting subjects range from the science of taste, to immigration in New York, and the history of the BBC.
The topics in insight include nuggets of information that your students will want to tell their friends and family about, helping them remember the lesson and the language points that were covered, and because all the material is based on actual facts and real-life events, students can take their learning even further by finding out more about the topics at home.
Language for life (not just for exams)
insight will help your students to develop a broad and deep understanding of language with a syllabus that challenges them to go deeper. They will learn about the rules of grammar and vocabulary such as collocation, word building, register and connotation, helping them to gain a greater awareness of not just the theory, but also of how to use grammar and vocabulary in practice.
The vocabulary insight pages develop students' dictionary and thesaurus skills enabling them to work more independently and they can further practise their skills in vocabulary and grammar at home using the Online Practice material.
Developing independent study skills
insight prepares your students for a life of learning with a focus on developing their independent study skills and encouraging autonomous learning. Progress check pages in the Workbook allow students to reflect on and take responsibility for their learning. Strategy boxes with step-by-step guides in every unit develop your student's core skills, while a dedicated double page writing spread in every unit with a step-by-step writing guide builds good writing habits.
The interactive tools in the Online Workbook Plus and Online Practice encourage students to independently review their learning. Students can practise an activity as many times as they need and check if they answered correctly. Automatic marking, the integrated Speak and Record feature, and instant links to the Grammar Reference and Wordlists all enhance the supportive environment for independent learning beyond the classroom.
Supporting your teaching practice
There is a wealth of additional resources available to support your teaching with insight, including the Teacher’s Resource Disk, Class Audio CDs, a Test Bank Multi-ROM (playable on a computer or a CD player) and all the digital tools found in the Classroom Presentation Tool.
The Online Gradebook keeps you up to date with students' learning, making it easy for you to track and report on progress, and letting you quickly identify strengths and weaknesses within a class.
