The Matrix series prepares secondary students for exams. Matrix develops grammar, vocabulary and the four main skills within an exam context. Engaging texts provide authentic input for the development of students' reading and listening skills, and provide cultural information. Each unit is theme-related, with topics chosen for their appeal to 16-19 year-olds. Grammar is presented and practised in a way that allows students to reflect on their understanding of English, and see it fall into place.
