Open Mind is a ground-breaking course that provides learners with the professional, academic and personal skills they need. Not only are language skills developed in the course, but also 21st-century skills that students need in order to have a better awareness of self and society, to handle the demands of their study and learning and to deal with challenges in their work and career. The course offers a flexible combination of materials to ensure that students are learning from a variety of sources: content-rich reading texts, speaking and writing workshops, high-quality video, self-study Online Workbooks, and projectable Student’s Books for IWBs. There is also a new digital version of the Student’s Book optimised for tablet use with interactive activities, and integrated audio and video, which helps to lend the course to blended or distance learning programs.
