Choices meets the challenge of motivating older teenagers who need to achieve academic and educational goals in a modern world.
Combining contemporary, cultural and educational topics with a wide range of digital, online (MyEnglishLab) and print material, Choices gives teachers the power to adapt to their classrooms, while the authentic BBC and Channel 4 video clips keep interest levels high and boredom factors low!

• Text Builder in units for process writing • Grammar Practice - Grammatical structures compared and contrasted. Students trained in choosing forms that best express given meanings and intentions • Language Review/Self Assessment every second module. Revision exercises where students check their answers and use a feedback guide to choose what they need to practise more • Listening with two levels of difficulty (slow speed and authentic speed) catering for different levels of students.
