Spotlight on First is a comprehensive course updated to meet the new Cambridge English exam requirements that came into effect in January 2015. Suitable for adults and younger learners, this course prepares them for excellence in the revised exam. An exciting new feature of this revised edition is the Ideas Generator. This tool is essential, as candidates must generate ideas to succeed in the Speaking and Writing sections of the exam. The Ideas Generator uses National Geographic videos to engage students in common exam topics. It helps them develop ideas about these topics and gather the language needed to write or speak effectively about them. After each video lesson, students have a collection of ideas, functional language, and vocabulary related to eight topics commonly found in the exam. One of the most challenging sections of the exam is the Speaking Test. The videos and worksheets focusing on the Speaking Test prepare students for this challenge by allowing them to practice with simulations of all four sections of the Speaking Test. Spotlight on First is therefore ideal for people who want to prepare to achieve a high level of English language proficiency in both educational and self-study methods.
