Speakout Digital is a general English course from A2 to B2 supported by an exciting range of digital tools, including BBC videos to bring an authentic experience to learning English.
The videos of Speakout Digital give students the opportunity to hear language as it is really spoken in daily life, but at the same time they are a vehicle for developing language skills, inviting students to think critically and express opinions and offer personal reactions. While speaking is a particularly strong feature of the course, listening, reading and writing skills are developed and strengthened throughout the course. The student book section ends with a special reading bank, introducing students to extracts from classic works of literature and biographies of famous people in history. Each piece is linked to the themes of the unit topics and introduced by Thinking Routines. This methodology helps students formulate ideas and guides them to express those ideas. At the same time, grammar and vocabulary are recycled and reinforced. Their curiosity spiked, students will be able to read the complete book by accessing the digital library.
