SCOOP: TRACKS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD is a B1-B1+ level book for students who have some experience with the English language and need to put what they know into practice while also being taught new material. The book is divided into eight “lines” in the style of the London Underground and presents learning English in terms of a voyage with the various articles presented as “stops” where students can get off. The book deals both with relatively traditional subjects and more complex issues in our current world in a manner easily accessible to young adult learners with numerous photos, images and other material taken from the real world of English (the Internet, newspapers, advertising, etc.). Each line focusses on a different subject (Institutions, History, Science, etc.) and contains a number of activities designed to stimulate classroom discussion, group activity and the shared experience of learning. At the conclusion of each line there is a page referred to as “Backtracking” that serves as an overall review of the line. The material in these lines is CLIL in that it deals with the various subjects students are already studying in their own language. Each line contains practise exams perfectly suitable to the students' level. Additionally, each line contains audio listening exercises performed by professional mother tongue speakers with accents taken from many of the world's English-speaking countries. All of the texts contain comprehension checks and grammar relative to what is contained in the text. SCOOP also serves as excellent preparation material for the certification exams. Students are asked to grade their own progress.
