Keynote Intermediate: Teacher's Book with Audio CDs

The Keynote series is a comprehensive educational tool designed to enhance English language teaching by incorporating TED Talks and real-world themes. The Teacher's Book and accompanying Audio CDs provide extensive teaching notes, complete with keys, scripts, tips, background insights, suggestions for additional activities, and innovative strategies for leveraging TED Talks in the classroom. Photocopiable tests modeled after globally recognized exams allow for effective student progress assessment. Each unit features two dynamic communicative activities to encourage student dialogue and reinforce the language introduced in the Student's Book.

Keynote aims to empower students by offering life-changing stories and presentations from esteemed thinkers, fostering a greater understanding of global issues, and nurturing their confidence and ability to communicate in English. By emphasizing communication, collaboration, and innovative thinking, the series guides students towards achieving true 21st-century skills. Authentic listening exercises, including content from both native and non-native speakers, are thoughtfully curated for classroom use. The syllabus also covers essential skills like critical thinking, visual and digital literacy, and global citizenship.

Additionally, Keynote's resources prioritize practical language use, enabling students to communicate clearly in various contexts. This includes a syllabus focused on presentation skills, encouraging fluency, confidence, and engaging delivery. Creative thinking is supported, offering a safe environment for students to experiment and refine their unique voice.

The interactive e-Book offers a digital version of the Student's Book, complete with integrated audio and video. The Workbook, accompanied by an Audio CD, further consolidates and extends the material from the Student's Book, supporting student progression through playlists of new TED Talks and Keynote team podcasts. Writing and presentation spreads within the Workbook emphasize text structure and essential language, helping students to improve their writing and presentation capabilities.

The online Workbook, available on MyELT, reinforces the Student's Book content and provides additional language practice. For teachers, an interactive presentation tool presents the Student's Book alongside answers, all incorporated audio and video, and links to additional grammar exercises.

The Keynote resource website enriches teaching with access to sample units, author videos, a wealth of TED Talk worksheets, complete TED Talks and audio resources, wordlists, CEFR correlations, and both mid-year and end-of-year assessments.
