CROWN CITY:
Each issue a British teenager introduces his / her city – from Manchester to Oxford and more!

NEW!
SIGNS AND SOUNDS OF BRITAIN:
Signs, streets, stickers, number plates and notices can teach us a lot about the language and culture of a country: In each issue we take one area of British or US life and show ten contemporary signs and symbols that you see.

Topics include: English schools, supermarkets and the cinema. This year we also include a sound, too!

CULTURE QUIZ:
These fun personality tests tie to a festival or tradition or time of year.
First quiz = Back to school! What type of student are you?

The latest and most popular stars, including Ariana Grande, and more with stories and real interviews carefully-written to teach an aspect of English language or culture – your pupils won’t know they’re learning!
