Live Classes in 2019/2020

This year we are offering two types of lessons, at different levels, to help you choose the best class matching your students' age and language abilities.

Key lessons are built around Pearson secondary courses* - GoGetter, Wider World and Focus Second Edition and a corresponding authentic BBC video.
Extra lessons are based on authentic BBC video footage and provide an insight into a culture-related topic.

Each class can be registered for one key lesson and one extra lesson.

* The country-specific titles include: Real World (Spain), Exam Focus (Spain), English Class (Poland).

Who is the project for?

Live Classes is a unique project available to all secondary teachers and students between 9 and 19 years old.

Teachers register their class and join a global classroom, meeting other groups from different parts of the world at the same live event.

Since Live Classes is an international project each lesson can only be joined by a maximum of 2 groups from the same country. This gives everyone an equal opportunity to enter the Pearson global classroom.
