- Series Description
In Focus is a three-level, corpus-informed course aimed at university and college students. It is designed to build vocabulary, reading, discussion, presentation, and critical-thinking skills. Each Student’s Book contains 12 topic-based units which are divided into two cycles of six general themes. Units follow a light gradation of difficulty, which allows you to vary the order in which you teach the units according to your students’ interests and time. In Focus is supplemented by a range of free, dedicated online components, which provide great flexibility and help to speed language acquisition.
The importance of vocabulary
Research shows that we need to know about 95% of the words in a text in order to understand it clearly. Using the multi-billion-word Cambridge English Corpus, a unique lexical syllabus has been created containing the most important words for second language learners of English. This syllabus comprises two word lists: a New General Service List (NGSL), a list of approximately 2,800 words; and a New Academic Word List (NAWL), a list of approximately 1,000 words which are especially useful for students who want to read academic texts in English. Together, these 3,800 words allow learners to understand 95% of most English texts; these are nearly all the words learners will ever need (not bad if you consider there are more than 600,000 words in English!). In each level of In Focus, 120 of these words are taught in depth (10 per unit). In levels 1 and 2, these words are taken from the NGSL, while in level 3 they are taken from the NAWL. Students can use the online tools developed especially for In Focus to learn the remainder of the 3,800 words.
Seamless transition from book to app to web
While In Focus can be used as a standalone textbook, dedicated online elements, including both website and smartphone apps, enable students to personalize and to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Online components include hundreds of hand-selected authentic videos, audio recordings of the texts, and a spaced-repetition vocabulary learning system. An easy-to-use learner management system allows you to set up a class and track your students’ progress, whether they are using a computer or a mobile device. At the back of each Student’s Book is a code which gives your students free access to the online elements (www.cambridgeinfocus.org).
Relevant and thought-provoking topics
Each level of In Focus covers six themes across twelve units. The themes have been specifically chosen to be both relevant to the students' lives yet at the same time open to multiple perspectives. Readings for the topics cover both neutral and extreme stances intended to either inform on the subject or provoke opinions in support of or against the writer's stance. These ideas are further supported with presentation and discussion tips to develop students' ability to formulate and convey their thoughts to a wider audience
Teacher's Resources
The In Focus Teacher’s Manual contains full step-by-step teaching notes, unit-by-unit summaries, language notes, tips, extension activities, options for assessment, and a complete answer key.
