"From flying dinosaurs to jet packs, the ability to soar among the clouds has always captivated our imagination," says National Geographic Explorer Ryan Carney. As English teachers, our primary goals include harnessing student imagination to foster motivation and providing comprehensive language instruction.

In this webinar, we will use Impact, Second Edition to merge engaging real-world content with thorough grammar instruction. By exploring the history of animal and human flight on Earth, modern robotic flight, and the future of transportation, we will demonstrate how teenage learners of English can simultaneously acquire cross-curricular knowledge and language skills. By integrating language points into the theme of the unit, we ensure they are covered naturally, in context, and in an engaging way. Join us to learn about history, science, the past perfect tense, and more, and see how we can help our students fly high in their language learning journey!
