Unlock Basic Skills Student’s Book with Downloadable Audio and Video

International Books — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:12:29 +0000

Unlock Basic Skills combines Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing to give students well-scaffolded, manageable skills practice. It draws on our expert research to focus on the language students find most challenging, and the video lessons give them the opportunity to recycle and extend what they’ve learned. An integrated introduction to critical thinking supports students as they take their first steps towards academic success.

Key features

Every unit of Unlock opens with a visually stunning and inspiring Discovery EducationTM video (supplied on the Teacher’s DVD that is packaged with the Teacher’s Book). These are used in every unit to introduce original angles on a range of academic topics. The videos promote discussion, motivate and engage learners, and help to ensure that you are working with materials which lead to real achievements in the classroom.
The critical thinking sections in Unlock are based on Benjamin Bloom’s classification of learning objectives (Bloom’s Taxonomy). These sections allow your learners to develop the lower and higher order thinking skills that are essential for success in an academic context.
Unlock has been developed using the Cambridge Learner Corpus, Cambridge Academic Corpus, and the English Vocabulary Profile. This guarantees that the language presented to your learners in Unlock is both up-to-date and relevant as it means our authors can see how English is used, identify common mistakes made by learners at a given level, and get additional information on the vocabulary that should be covered at each CEFR level.
