In Focus Academic 1 follows on from In Focus 1 and In Focus 2. It is designed for students at the high-intermediate level. Each unit will help you build your knowledge about a wide range of interesting topics as well as help you think critically about these topics. You will learn about and discuss topics such as a wide range of issues including gender equality, marriage around the world, renewable energy, nuclear power, free trade, online addiction, and the influence of social media. Four of the 12 units focus on discussion, four on presentation, and four on role play and debate. Each unit gives you a useful presentation or discussion tip to help you express yourself. In every unit, we also provide you with useful language and expressions where needed to help express yourself better.
