INTERMEDIATE SPECIAL FEATURES :
Discussion-led module opener

The issue-led activity helps students become comfortable with expressing themselves in E Active presentations
Each presentation consists of a varied skills-based lesson taking students directly to the heart of the language points.
Activities lead students from understanding to interpretation and personal response – which is crucial for their language development at a B2 level.
Content-rich themes offer a stimulating starting point for CLIL lessons and projects.

With clear Brush up, Move on sections, SURE Intermediate reviews language that students already know and explores new grammar points.
