For Real Plus presents up-to-date topics and issues that interest young people, and stories that truly reflect their world and aspirations. Opening pages prime students for learning with engaging questionnaires and vocabulary development related to the theme of each unit.
Students explore who they are and how they think, discover new things, learn about extraordinary people and places and meet real young people. This stimulates students’ imaginations, gets them talking, learning new things and thinking about familiar things in new ways.
Each unit provides integrated skills work which activates students’ language knowledge and language competence. Skills-based activities get students reading, listening, speaking and writing. Language is graded and recycled, so students re-use language, improve their skills and learn new things, too.
Authentic communication lessons get students speaking using natural, everyday language. Easy to follow, realistic communicative contexts and situations, with high frequency phrases and expressions, lead to students’ own role plays and productive use of language.
Vocabulary is developed through the teaching of contextualised lexical sets, the presentation of key words, verbs and word-building in the Word expander boxes, the exploration of new words in texts and the development of vocabulary learning skills, plus extra fun practice online.
Brand-new Vox Pop interviews bring together an expressive and diverse group of young people from all over the English-speaking world to answer our questions. Activities focus on spoken language and the opportunity for students to film their own interviews.

Skills Book
The Skills Books focus attention on essential skills to improve students’ performance. Guided activities develop a range of different sub-skills: from understanding general meaning and listening or reading for detail, to maintaining a conversation or writing messages.
10 Top Tips for Success
Top tips present core strategies for success in language learning and international exams. These tips help students develop fundamental skills both in class and outside the classroom and encourage them to make these 21st century competencies part of their routine.
Four Skills
Reading and listening skills lessons teach learners to process input and extract meaning, enabling them to ‘get the message’. Speaking and writing skills lessons ensure students can produce language themselves and communicate with appropriate language, register and fluency.
