Speakout B1+ Student’s Book and eBook with Online Practice, 3rd edition

The Student’s Book has eight units, each with four lessons, plus a Unit Opener and a Review section. Each unit contains:

• A unit opener featuring vlogs filmed by real people from around the world together with a mini task to engage learners with the topic of the unit, plus learner-friendly Global Scale of English Learning Objectives
• Two main input lessons (A and B), covering the four skills plus Grammar, Vocabulary and Pronunciation, all based on GSE learning objectives, and leading towards a final GSE-based skills output task
• A functional language or ‘How to ..’ lesson where learners learn and put into practice real-world language that will help them in everyday situations, such as order a meal in a restaurant, getting help in shops, and phoning for information; this lesson links to an interactive speaking practice activity for students to do outside the classroom and receive feedback, and also links to a standalone mediation lesson in the Mediation Bank
• A BBC video lesson with preview tasks to spark interest and set expectations, activities based on language points from the videos, and speaking and writing tasks based on the video themes; the video lessons alternate between a programme clip from the BBC archive and bespoke BBC street interviews
• A review section providing practice of the language from the unit plus listening and pairwork speaking activities to consolidate learners’ understanding
• Grammar Bank
• Vocabulary bank containing either a continuation of the lexical set presented in the lesson, or presenting a new set related to the lesson
• Mediation Bank (from A2)
• Sounds and Spelling lesson (A1 only) to help learners with sound recognition, pronunciation and writing
