Wider World is Pearson's most popular mid-secondary course. It prepares teenagers for life by giving them the skills they need to enjoy social lives, pursue their studies and succeed in their future careers. The course features authentic English from humorous situations, interviews with real people, and clips taken from BBC programs that show language used in real-life situations.

Each unit explores the wide diversity of life and culture, exposing students to topics from around the world, including global citizenship and sustainability goals. It recognizes cultural diversity and supports tolerance, and features extra support for mixed-ability classes and neurodivergent students.
