Focus

By Sue Kay and Vaughan Jones

Bringing learning into focus

Focus is a five-level, flexible Upper Secondary course with special components that prepares and motivates students for their end of school exams.

• Motivation
Topics, texts and tasks that engage students both intellectually and emotionally. Constant reference to students’ life experiences and the things they aspire to. Language is brought to life through grammar animations, interactive videos and culturally relevant clips.

• Memory
Unique approach to vocabulary acquisition via the Word Store language. Acquisition is driven by careful recycling of vocabulary and grammar. Exam skills are reinforced by Cambridge and PTE General practice booklets.

• Meaning
Content students want to read, listen and talk about. Every exercise is relevant to students’ lives and frequent personalisation ensures students’ engagement every step of the way.
