We asked David Cotton, an author of New Language Leader, to share what inspired him to create the course and how New Language Leader can make you a legendary teacher.
The key to success is a general English syllabus combined with academic English and exam preparation. This way, students prepare for tests whilst developing a good general English base for future academic studies. Assessment spreads develop the necessary skills needed at the popular university admission exams. Teacher’s notes also contain suggestions on how to tailor material for exams-focused classes.
With New Language Leader you don’t need to look for extra support anymore. The course offers a variety of authentic materials that familiarise students with real English expressions and scenarios. “Meet the Experts” videos provide genuine interviews with real professionals who have interesting careers and share their experiences with learners. “Study Skills” videos provide ready-made guidance for academic success.
New Language Leader provides a range of contemporary topics including business and global affairs, crime, travel, education, the environment, health, society values, science and engineering, sports, communication and globalisation. These are familiar topics that students see in the news and online, which can stimulate discussion and develop critical thinking, and students learn how to construct logical arguments in English.
It is not just about learning English anymore. To be successful in the modern academic environment students need to develop 21st Century skills such as critical thinking, text analysis, and digital literacies. Each lesson of New Language Leader has activities focused on reinforcing these competencies.
