Wider World American Edition is the portal to a fascinating
world of English language knowledge and skills for 21st century
learners. The combination of authentic and engaging videos

from the BBC with Pearson’s ELT expertise gives teenage
learners everything they need to achieve their goals in the wider
world.

Informed by research and conversations with practising
teachers, Wider World American Edition offers two flexible
alternative paths, depending on students’ profile and starting
level, making sure everyone can achieve their goals.

FEATURES

• Authentic: High-quality BBC Culture and BBC Vox Pop videos provide inspiring content
and motivate students to use English as it is really spoken.
• Interactive: Numerous opportunities for interaction with real life content across print
and digital formats allow students to develop their language skills at a deeper cognitive
level.
• Reliable: Thoroughly researched and challenging content delivered within the
Assessment for Learning principles improves students’ chances for exam success.
• Digital resources that include the eBook, Pearson Practice English App, and online
activities.
• Two alternative learning paths

• Lower-level starting point (Starter – Level 3): This option is recommended for
classes where the level of English is low at the very beginning and for students
who will appreciate more animated, entertaining content to begin with and
continue with a more adolescent approach, as they grow older.
• Higher-level starting point (Level 1 – Level 4): This option is recommended for
classes where students have already had some education in English and expect a
course with a more teenage-feel from the very beginning.
