Speaking Matters

Evolve is a general English course that gets

students speaking with confidence.

This student-centered course covers all skills and

focuses on the most effective and efficient ways

to progress in English.

What makes Evolve special?

• Peer models and content from real students.
• Bite-sized learning and mobile phone activities

for inside and outside the classroom.

• Dedicated speaking lessons based on immersive

tasks.

• Integrated teacher development in the Teacher’s

Edition.

Peer models (Levels 1–4)

• Levels A1–B1+ feature short videos of real

student ‘peer models’ talking about topics in the

Student’s Book.

• These videos provide achievable speaking role

models to prompt speaking in class and are easily

accessed by scanning a QR code.

Expert speakers (Levels 5–6)

• Levels B2–C1 feature highly proficient non-native

speakers of English who live and work in the

United States.

• Videos and ideas from these expert speakers

give students authentic content to respond and react to.

Smartphone activities

• ‘Find it’ smartphone activities allow students to

bring live content into the class and personalize

the learning experience with research and group

activities that are engaging and meaningful.

Evolve prioritizes

cognitively-engaging activities over mechanical practice and includes critical

thinking in every skills lesson

Dedicated speaking lessons

• Based around immersive tasks that involve information sharing, problemsolving,

and decision making, ‘Time to Speak’ is a lesson dedicated entirely

to developing speaking skills.

• ‘Time to Speak’ creates a buzz in the classroom where speaking can really

thrive, evolve, and take off, resulting in more confident speakers of English.

• Research shows that students learn better in contexts where they feel

confident, motivated, supported, and able to experiment with language.

Evolve helps teachers create a safe speaking environment in which students

have space to develop their speaking skills freely.

Designed for success

• ‘Accuracy check’ targets common learner errors. It can be used as a

self-editing checklist and helps students learn to actively avoid common

errors in their written and spoken English.

• ‘Insider English’ focuses on the informal language and colloquial expressions

frequently found in everyday situations, boosting students’ confidence in the

real world.

• The ‘Pronunciation’ sections highlight the aspects of speaking and listening

the most affect communication, meaning pronunciation work in class is

maximized.

• ‘Register check’ helps students to transition confidently between written

and spoken English and recognize how to use different levels of formality

appropriately.

Evolve integrates professional development into every unit of the Teacher’s

Edition. This unique approach offers regular opportunities to reflect and try

out new teaching techniques, enabling teachers to develop as they teach.
