INTRODUCTION GOLD EXPERIENCE 2 ND EDITION Gold Experience second edition is an 8-level course that prepares students for the Cambridge English exams while building their language and real-world skills. The course gives students thorough exam preparation in terms of both strategy and language, while simultaneously developing the life skills that students will need to use English successfully beyond the classroom. Real-world, engaging materials ensure students are switched on and curious to learn more. This second edition is fully updated with new content and a new design.

The B2 level is designed for classes where some or all students are preparing for B2 level exams such as Cambridge B2 First for Schools. However, the ‘general English’ feel and teen-centric topics and texts make it suitable for students at this level who are not studying for the exam. With all-new content for the second edition, Gold Experience B2 will continue its focus on developing students’ confidence in using English for communication and extending their knowledge of vocabulary and structures. It also aims to find surprising and engaging ways to introduce some thought-provoking topics and themes, and encourages students to reflect on their own knowledge and experience. Gold Experience second edition will equip students to succeed in the Cambridge B2 First for Schools exam, but also to succeed in their upcoming young adult lives.

First and foremost, you need your course to help you achieve students’ core aims of building language skills and passing exams. With Gold Experience second edition, the syllabus is based on a combination of exam requirements and the Global Scale of English, ensuring comprehensive language coverage. Meanwhile, we have brought together highly experienced authors and exam consultants to ensure accuracy and rigor in exam preparation, as well as managing the balance of general English, exam English and life skills. This means you can rest assured that your students will be learning the right language with suitable practice to help them excel in their exams and communicate with confidence.

We believe that students need training and practice to excel in exams, but that this doesn’t need to be the overarching feel of a class. In Gold Experience second edition, exam tasks are woven seamlessly into the flow of the lesson, but can be easily identified by the icon. Each unit includes work on every exam paper, giving students exposure to realistic tasks with a focus on the target language of the unit. Over the course of the book, students build their exam strategies and their confidence through the step-by-step core activities and task-based exam tips. For those classes or individuals wanting more targeted exam preparation we have a full practice test in the Workbook, and an additional Exam Practice book for practice of full papers.

Gold Experience second edition aims to bring new experiences to students, and encourage students to bring their own experience to the classroom. We believe that any text or discussion topic should be interesting regardless of the language, and we have tried to balance light, quirky topics that students will have fun with, with more weighty themes to really get them thinking. Where possible, we have used authentic texts and real people in reading texts allowing students to expand on anything that takes their interest. Authentic broadcast video from a variety of sources, and grammar ‘vox pop’ interviews with the general public introduce students to authentic accents and real experiences and stories. As every teacher knows, when students are engaged with the topic and the material, they are engaged with English and everything else is just that little bit easier.

As well as language and exams, we know you care about developing your students as citizens of the world. This means helping them develop their ability to think critically, assimilate new information and points of view, and formulate, express and defend their opinions. This means helping them develop research techniques, work both alone and with others, and reflect on their own learning. In Gold Experience second edition, these skills are developed throughout each unit in the Speak up sections, where students are encouraged to discuss and debate, and in a more focused way, at the end of each unit in the Project and Independent Learning strands. The Projects are designed to be flexible and you can decide to do them quickly in class, or expand them into longer-term projects over several classes or weeks. The Independent Learning syllabus builds over the course of the book to help students discover both study tools and techniques, and more about themselves as learners.

We know that the real classroom can often be far more complex than the ideal classroom we imagine. For that reason, we’ve provided a wealth of materials to provide extra support or further challenge for students who need it, plenty of additional and alternative ideas and resources for you, and a full suite of components to allow you to tailor your teaching package to your classroom.
