Cutting Edge 3rd Edition
Cutting Edge is a communicative course with a task-based approach. The contextualised practice of grammar and vocabulary makes the learning process more memorable and engaging. A wide range of contemporary topics and video material helps students to discover English in the context of the modern world.
Learn by doing
The task-based approach of Cutting Edge encourages students to practice and apply the newly acquired language through functional tasks.
Students build their confidence by learning from the models and doing the guided tasks. As part of these tasks, students work on their 21st century skills. They need to find information by themselves, which develops their research skills. Everything in the course builds up to preparing students for using the language independently, as well as developing the academic skills they’ll need in higher education.
Cutting Edge 3rd Edition:
- Clear learning objectives
- A very strong focus on communication
- Interesting topics that offer stimuli for discussion
- World Culture lessons allow for CLIL practice
- Teaches functional, practical language
- Develops all language skills
Task Based Learning
Task-Based Learning (TBL) requires students to use functional language to complete meaningful language tasks. Such tasks could include making an appointment with a doctor, conducting an interview or calling customer services. Cutting Edge 3rd Edition has been designed around the principles of TBL, so that students learn practical language and use all of their skills simultaneously to communicate in real-life situations at school or work, or on social occasions.
The advantages include:
• Students practise all aspects of language simultaneously and get more varied exposure to language.
• Personalised context and meaningful language.
• Motivational and fun.
• TBL encourages the development of strong communication skills.
