New Interactive Content
on the Macmillan English Campus

If you are one of the many Macmillan English Campus users who have been asking us for more media-rich resources, you will be thrilled to hear that this month we have enhanced our video and interactive content

For our British English users, we’ve extended 25 exercises, and transformed them into longer and richer two-part tasks that include 25 brand new videos. You can find them all by typing "video activity" (making sure to use double quotation marks) into the Word & Phrase Search.

The tasks contain vocabulary and language exercises, and range in level from Starter to Intermediate. They focus on a variety of stimulating subjects, from travel to recycling and from poetry to astronomy, which will keep students interested and involved.

As always, the MEC Training Team will prepare a special clinic to suggest you some ideas on how to implement these new resources; keep an eye on our blog, www.connect2mec.com, to find out the exact dates and book your place.

You will find three ‘Worlds’, offering different perspectives on the subjects of nature and animals. Each one includes five or six different zones; the zones can be navigated in any order and there’s plenty to discover.

‘Interactive Worlds’ are incredibly rich not only in high-quality content, but also in enticing pictures and graphics. Their audio, video and interactive activities make them perfect for use in the classroom with a projector or interactive whiteboard – particularly since they come complete with integrated whiteboard tools such as a pen and a colour palette.

 

Finally, we have also published a new course to the American English Campus, New American Inside Out Intermediate, in addition to the Elementary level published last month.
