Speakout 2nd Edition
Developed in association with BBC Worldwide and BBC Learning English, Speakout is all about motivating students to start using English through the use of authentic BBC content, interesting topics and versatile material.
Real communication is key
Speakout bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world, not only through the inclusion of motivating material, but also through carefully planned strategies for improved speaking and listening skills.
Lesson one and two provide grammar and vocabulary input. Students practise the newly aquired language in several types of exercises. These go from closed to more open activities where student have to use the language actively. The third lesson in each unit is a ‘functional lesson’ that focuses on speaking and communication strategies. These three lessons provide material that leads up to the fourth lesson. This lesson contains BBC input, but the intention is to create output: students are asked to speak and write in a guided task.
BBC material
The digital components are designed to simplify your teaching, save time and provide all the resources you need to become the best teacher you can be. We know that lots of ambitious teachers search for authentic English content online. This will no longer be necessary, as real-life BBC videos and podcasts are already available for you on ActiveTeach and ActiveBook.
- BBC clips at the end of every unit provide a springboard for meaningful speaking and writing tasks.
- Video podcasts filmed by the BBC: these ‘on the street’ interviews provide examples of authentic English.
