Solutions' curriculum has been thoroughly modernized with 80% new content, focused on engaging students, incorporating the presented grammar and vocabulary, and engaging them in the tasks. A step-by-step approach builds each student's confidence through objectives, ample practice opportunities, meaningful personal activities, and exam preparation tasks. The course materials now embrace a wide range of teaching methods, providing teachers with a flexible package for use in the classroom, at home, and on the go. The online workbook promotes independent learning with various interactive features. Solutions turns all students into active learners and offers a wealth of learning opportunities for a wide range of levels through extension and review activities in all sections, so that everyone experiences a sense of achievement, regardless of their level.
Each lesson has a structured page-by-page layout with achievable goals, clear instructions on which skills are being practiced, and a gradual buildup to a productive outcome. This leads to a sense of achievement after each lesson. Updated and motivating texts with effective vocabulary development activities promote engagement and active practice. Speaking skills are integrated into all lessons, with step-by-step guidance leading to real-world practice, making the activities meaningful and memorable. Workbooks with integrated audio (available online with built-in audio or through the student website) and an automated grading system provide students with an abundance of listening exercises, while enabling teachers to reduce grading time.
Productive tasks, "Check your work" features, exam strategy boxes, and home study options via the online workbook help students actively engage in their learning and build confidence in exam preparation. DVD-ROM materials accompanying each Culture, Reading, or Speaking lesson in the Student's Book reinforce the grammar and vocabulary taught and present it in a different, engaging context. The new e-books include interactive features that support language learning. Students can purchase e-books as in-app purchases by downloading the Oxford Learner's Bookshelf app. Institutions can purchase access codes.
