Motivate! is a four-level course (A1-B1) which contains a wealth of material which is of genuine interest to young teenagers (10-14). Diversity is a key characteristic of today's increasingly international, multicultural and multilingual world, and classrooms these days are equally diverse.

The introduction of new grammar and vocabulary is carefully graded, and all four skills are equally well covered recognition of mixed ability: Students begin their studies with different levels of language ability. Motivate! provides diagnostic tests to use before the course starts to help the teacher assess individual student needs. The Progress checks at the end of each unit help students to identify what they know or where they need to study more. The Vocabulary and Grammar guides provide a summary of work covered. In the Workbook the activities are clearly labelled for mixed ability, and in the Teacher's Book there is a wealth of suggestions for extra activities which cater for diversity. Assessment also takes mixed ability into consideration, with test and exams at three levels culture and CLIL: To encourage students to learn about the world around them, Motivate! includes texts and situations based on real contexts with specific cultural references. In addition, every unit contains a CLIL section which provides another way of motivating students and helping them to develop other areas of interest.

These are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes which young people in education are encouraged to acquire Motivate! digital: A page-faithful Digibook comes free with every print Student's Book and includes integrated audio

A 4-level course for secondary and for schools with fewer contact hours (2-3 per week). It starts at A1 and ends at B1. The course will meet different sales and marketing needs primarily in our CEE markets (incl. Russia and Turkey, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) and will be treated as replacement/alternative to Smash and Tempo. Some markets will be looking to reach out to new segments of secondary, others will be targeting whole new markets that we're not present in, and finally, just having an alternative course for this segment to take to our customers is seen as a welcome opportunity to increase Macmillan's market share in lower secondary. The course is a version of the Spanish ESO course Interface and offers a solid and well-paced approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the four skills in equal balance and with emphasis on mixed abilities. The material stands out with its thorough and comprehensive grammar. - Solid, well-paced, balanced approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the four skills - Engaging and age-appropriate reading texts and tasks - Well-structured and well-supported methods for the teaching and practising of the productive skills (speaking and writing) -Predictable unit structure offering the teacher and the student a welcome sense of security - A wealth of support features and tips, making the learning experience more memorable and effective - Reliable, cumulative approach to revision - Strong culture and CLIL features in every unit - Workbook (incorporating its own audio) providing an outstanding resource for additional practice and consolidation through a wide variety of activities and strategies
