A radical revision of the successful Streetwise course for teenagers, combining new material with the best of the original edition. - It appeals to teenagers through a modern, attractive magazine format and explores issues that teenagers want to talk about. Many of the topics have been revised and updated to keep the material fresh and relevant. - There is a thorough grammar syllabus. Grammar is taught in context - teaching points arise naturally from the reading or listening texts, showing how structures are really used. After every two units `Grammar review` and `Grammar practice` sections provide essential consolidation and further practice. - There is a balance of skills work throughout. Reading exercises have been added which provide a gentle introduction to FCE-style comprehension tasks. Writing work is given greater support, with a carefully structured guided writing syllabus. - The `Getting Streetwise!` sections of the course focus on functional and situational language, as well as strategies for conversational English. - There is an emphasis on vocabulary development and word-building. - A range of exercises and activities cater for all abilities. - Six new songbook pages related to unit themes have a strong teen appeal. Each song provides a motivating context for reading, speaking and listening activities. - New Self-check and Self-test exercises at regular intervals encourage learner autonomy and self-assessment.
