How the course works

Unit walkthrough

Course summary

Speakout 3rd Edition
Each level contains eight units, each with four lessons, plus a Unit Opener and a Review section.

The Grammar Bank and Vocabulary Bank at the back of the book are integral parts of the lessons when
they occur. Language presented in these sections is considered to be taught, and is then recycled in
subsequent activities. It may also appear in the unit review and the tests content.
The Mediation Bank contains eight standalone lessons. They can be taught at any point, but ideally they
should follow the completion of each Lesson C.
