Combining effective, communicative methodology with a “can-do” approach, Four Corners Second edition gives your students the language they need to communicate with confidence.
The second edition has a fresh, contemporary design, with a real-world feel that students can relate to. Most of the Readings in each unit have been updated, introducing vocabulary that’s increasingly common in the modern world.
From mobile apps to fake news, students will be well-equipped to understand the words and phrases that they are likely to encounter outside of the classroom.
Can-do statements in every lesson, linked to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), help students measure their progress by showing them exactly what they’ve learned.
Interactions lessons and personalized speaking activities give your students the language they need to speak with confidence in everyday situations.
A manageable grammar and vocabulary syllabus provides a firm foundation for effective written and spoken communication.
Clear and carefully staged lessons with measurable outcomes help you deliver successful classes and help your students see the results of their learning.
The course provides content-rich topics in every unit, extensive opportunities to practice natural English, integrated skills, and a wide variety of engaging speaking activities. Every unit contains four lessons: A, B, C, and D, each of which has its own learning outcome and culminates in a personalized speaking activity.
Lesson A
presents and practices the first set of vocabulary items and the first grammar point of the unit.
Lesson B
introduces a functional English strand. Students practice language functions and strategies in relevant, transferable contexts.
Lesson C
presents and practices a second set of vocabulary items and a second grammar point in a communicative context.
Lesson D
promotes personalization and cultural fluency in a variety of real-life contexts.
A wrap-up page consolidates the vocabulary, grammar, and functional language from the unit.
Allows teachers to present the Student’s Book and Workbook, play the class audio and video program, and display scripts and answer keys in front of the class.
Every Student’s Book includes a unique code giving students access to online activities which are perfect for extra practice outside of the classroom. These activities can be found in the Cambridge Learning Management System (CLMS.)
Enables teachers to easily track their students’ progress in the CLMS. The Workbook can be used in class or for homework and provides students with additional vocabulary, grammar, functional language, and reading practice.
The Teacher’s Edition with a complete assessment program and assessment audio files helps you place students at the correct level and track their progress through regular tests and quizzes.
An interleaved Student’s Book with page-by-page teaching notes, lesson plans, and answer keys helps you get the most out of every unit.
