Messages is a motivating lower-secondary course. Teachers and students are rewarded with immediate results at every 'Step' of each unit. Students can use their English to explore a complete set of online 'Infoquest' websites. Reading skills are developed through continuous stories and regular 'Life and culture' sections. KET- and PET-style exercises help develop exam skills.
'Use what you know' sections at the end of each step activate the language students have learnt and provide them with immediate results.
'Life and culture' sections and continuous stories provide rich reading resources about the outside world to stimulate students' interest.
Coursework activities in each review section on a connected theme at each level (for example, Level 1 My Everyday Life) mean students build up a portfolio of work for each year.
A variety of exercises such as the 'Try this!' sections and extension exercises in the Workbook mean students can work to their own level.
Teacher's Resource Pack provides photocopiable tests, extra communication and grammar activities and pattern drills.
KET and PET-style exercises train students in the skills they need for these exams.
