Become 1, 2nd ed.

Become 1, 2nd ed. focuses on individual learners: their interests, their aspirations, their lives. The reading and listening texts and the related production tasks offer the possibility of personal perspectives and responses. At the same time, student-centred activities and materials promote critical thinking and encourage students to become independent learners, responsible for their own success, both in the English classroom and in their chosen fields.

What’s new?

Become 1 has been completely revamped with:

• new level-appropriate texts and activities with more scaffolding,
• more videos,
• a clearer teaching path,
• and projects related to the student’s field of study, allowing the development of English skills they need for real-life situations.

The Skills book includes:

• high-interest and authentic reading, listening and watching materials,
• vocabulary activities that allow students to practise vocabulary in context and a Vocabulary Tracker in which they can record new and field-related words,
• speaking tasks including discussions and presentations,
• final tasks at the end of each unit incorporating writing and speaking assignments,
• workshops that focus on challenging aspects of pronunciation,
• Become Skilled for Work and Study sections after each unit that cover language skills that are important in any academic or professional context,
