The Teacher's Book has over 100 pages of teaching notes which provide comprehensive support for every lesson. A reproduction of the Student's Book lesson on each page of the Teacher's Book makes lesson planning and marking easier. Optional activities throughout the Teacher's Book offer flexibility for managing classes of all abilities. The Teacher's Resource Disk offers even more material which you can adapt to suit your classes. Unit and Progress tests at three levels with A/B versions means evaluation and testing is comprehensive and secure. Photocopiable worksheets at three levels provide additional structured grammatical, lexical and communicative practice for each unit. Plus, 'How to...' resources offer practical advice on teaching mixed-ability classes, getting your students to talk, and other common classroom management issues.

The Workbook includes exercises in grammar, vocabulary and skills, which mirror the language and skills work in the Student's Book pages. There are three levels of practice activities: one-star activities provide basic revision and language manipulation; two-star activities involve more productive exercises; and three-star activities are more open and offer more challenge. There is a two-page Progress review at the end of each unit. These exercises check understanding of all the vocabulary, grammar and skills presented in the unit. They also provide a record of what has been learned in the unit. The Self-evaluation section encourages students to think about their progress. This type of activity is also very helpful in students' development as learners because it encourages them to take responsibility for their own learning. There is a listening exercise in every Progress review. The audio for this is available on the online Practice Kit.

Each level consists of 8 theme-based units plus a shorter Starter unit. Centred on the Engage, Study, Activate methodology, each lesson is highly structured, building students' knowledge and confidence before culminating in a final productive exercise to enable students to personalise what they have learnt. A strong communicative strand runs throughout the Student's Book with plenty of speaking exercises and an entire lesson dedicated to speaking and pronunciation skills. Video is integrated into Vocabulary lessons to help students capture the target language and put it into context. Grammar Animations can be used alongside every Grammar lesson to reinforce the rule being taught and make language structures more memorable. On-page features such as Key Phrases and Study Strategy boxes support students while developing their ability to learn independently. Fast Finisher activities throughout every unit and Options pages at the back of the Student's Book provide opportunities to expand on the core material to suit different learner types.
