Presenter: John Hughes

Over ten years ago, teachers brought Life to their classroom, a six-level, integrated-skills course for young adults and adults. It was a game-changer for teachers and their learners with its dynamic use of National Geographic photography, information-rich texts to generate authentic English, and the development of learners' critical thinking. Now in its third edition, these core features remain central to the series and they have evolved to reflect current teaching and learning needs. In this webinar, we’ll present an overview of its key features and their benefits including:

  • Greater attention to language goals and assessment of and for learning.
  • A visual literacy syllabus to enhance critical thinking powered by authentic images and video.
  • ‘Sustainable Life’ lessons to develop a global mindset and problem-solving skills in English. 
  • Targeted skills development and exam-style tasks for international exam preparation.

Join Life co-author John Hughes for a personal walkthrough of Life, Third Edition as he gives a teacher’s and writer’s perspective on the new series.
