What is focus?

• a five-level upper secondary course
• exams oriented learning path for state and private school students
• a course structured to promote motivation, memory and meaning
• a unique approach to teaching and learning vocabulary
• clear and intuitive lessons allowing teachers to teach-off-the-page
• a course closely aligned to Global Scale of English learning objectives

FOCUS methodology is built around the 3Ms – MOTIVATION, MEMORY and MEANING. These key concepts underpin the benefits of the course for learners and signal its pedagogical effectiveness to teachers.

MOTIVATION:

• topics, texts and tasks that engage students both intellectually and emotionally
• constant reference to students' life experiences and the things they aspire to
• language is brought to life through grammar animations, interactive videos and culturally relevant clips

MEMORY:

• unique approach to vocabulary acquisition via the Word Store
• language acquisition is driven by careful recycling of vocabulary and grammar
• exam skills are reinforced by Cambridge and PTE General practice booklets

MEANING:

• content students want to read, listen and talk about
• every exercise is relevant to students’ lives
• frequent personalisation ensures students' engagement every step of the way

One of the unique features of FOCUS is its approach to learning and retention of vocabulary. The course offers the Word Store - a vocabulary practice booklet with a wide variety of exercises and a unique method of involving learners actively in recording new words and phrases.

WHY CHOOSE FOCUS?

FOCUS is a great example of a course that can be TAUGHT OFF-THE-PAGE. This means very little extra preparation is required on the part of the teacher to make lessons MOTIVATING, MEMORABLE, MEANINGFUL​ AND... FUN!
