KEY FEATURES

Students learn grammar in four, easy steps. Each grammar section starts with a short text presenting the new language in context. A Watch Out! feature warns students of common learner errors.
Vocabulary is taught with an emphasis on the most frequent and useful words for students according to the Macmillan English Dictionaries.
openMind does real skills development. Learners develop subskills in reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Skills development sections include a summary of what the subskill is, e.g. skimming or listening for gist, why it’s important and how to apply it.
The lifeSkills activity recycles language from the unit while giving students the chance to learn a key higher-order skill in the areas of self-direction and learning, organization and planning, information and research, thinking and problem solving, and collaboration.
Pronunciation sections always include audio, and guide students to notice a pattern or rule to help them pronounce more naturally.
