Through our research,
we have worked with over
12,000 teachers across
Spain, visiting schools
and getting feedback on
our materials to ensure
we meet teachers
and students needs.
We would like to share
with you a few examples
of how we are shaping
learning together.
We believe that education changes lives
Research DigitalWe provide teachers, students and parents with online resources they can use wherever they are, and help schools to make optimum use of the digital resources in their classrooms.
We work closely with teachers to understand how classrooms are changing, how teachers want their classrooms to work, and how we can develop materials that will make a difference.
Using the Oxford Placement Tests at the beginning of the course makes assessing students language levels easy, while progress tests and exam practice tests motivate students to achieve their language goals.
Assessment
Spains teachers are the inspiration for our accessible and practical teacher training. Last year, we worked with teachers in over 500 schools, helping them meet the challenges of todays classroom.

By sharing their needs and experiences, teachers help our authors and editors to create the resources that are needed in the classroom from Pre-Primary through to University level.
Innovation
Learning Outcomes
AuthorsMany of our authors teach or have taught in Spain, and keep in close contact with the classroom through visits to schools and by giving talks at events we organize for teachers throughout the year.
Generations of learners have improved their English and gained qualifications by studying with our materials. Many have become accomplished English teachers themselves, turning to our resources to teach a new generation.
White PapersOur ground-breaking White Papers cover key issues for teachers and directors, from educational theory and practice, to implementing CLIL and assessment programmes and teacher training.

We are always pleased to answer your questions, no matter how big or small. For more information and advice on any of the titles in this catalogue, or to discuss your teaching needs, our dedicated teacher support service is here to assist you:
-
Collaborating with teachersWe believe that education is a collaborative process and that we can only achieve the best results if we truly work together, listening and learning from each other.
When developing learning resources we have lots of questions in mind: What do classrooms look like now? How are classrooms changing? How would teachers like their classrooms to look? How can we prepare todays learners for the 21st century? The solutions we offer are developed for you, with you.
We work hard to stay informed about developments at a national and regional level to make sure that our materials meet local requirements and address every users needs. We continually revise our publications to ensure that they offer teachers everything they need.
Students at the centre of educationThe belief that students are at the centre of education informs everything we do. Our educational resources enable learning and facilitate the teachers role as a guide in the students journey of discovery.
Education at the centre of societyEducation takes place in many contexts: at school, in the family at home, and in the wider community.Our coursebooks aim to transcend the borders of the classroom. As well as teaching language, they incorporate projects and tasks that address real life, helping students to integrate into society.
Affirming diversityAn inclusive educational system provides equal opportunity for all. Oxford coursebooks pay particular attention to multiple intelligences, helping students with different learning abilites and backgrounds to achieve success.
Language learningOur aim is for all students to learn to communicate effectively. Oxford materials provide a variety of practical language activities to develop language skills and the ability to use language in functional situations.
Digital literacyThe new curriculum stresses the importance of digital literacy and the appropriate use of technology to assist learning. Oxford invests in the ongoing research and development of digital media to bring technology into the learning environment where it adds the most value. Students are encouraged to interact with digital content in ways that are both productive and motivational.
How we address the new LOMCE curriculum
Students are the centre of education and the reason why education exists. Learning at school must be directed towards preparing autonomous, critically-minded people, capable of thinking for themselves.
Preamble of the Ley Orgnica de Mejora de la Calidad Educativa.

PlurilingualismThe European Union establishes the promotion of plurilingualism as an essential objective in the construction of a European project. The new curriculum supports plurilingualism, stepping up efforts to ensure that students can communicate fluently in at least one foreign language. The new Oxford CLIL textbooks address teaching different content areas in English.
Key CompetencesThe new curriculum emphasises the importance of Key Competences. Oxford coursebooks fully integrate Key Competences into the learning experience:
Communicative functions Communication is central to the language learning experience. Oxford Courses prepare learners to be active members of society as well as successful language learners.
Learning to learn Students learn new language and then put it into practice in meaningful ways. They are guided and supported in developing the skills needed to be successful and confident lifelong learners.
Assessment criteria and standards Oxford titles cover all of the language objectives of the new curriculum as well as integrating Key Competences. All of our courses provide a fully comprehensive assesment package, facilitating frequent, level-adapted assesment of students progress across the skills as well as their preparation for external examinations.
Language teaching in the 21st centuryThe new curriculum incorporates well know up-to-date international trends in language teaching:
The Common European Framework of Reference establishes linguistic competence levels, the Portfolio, and a new approach towards skills.
Teaching should focus on communication.
Learning with Key Competences is a practical matter. It is not so much knowing, but knowing how to do things that counts.
Assessment should be designed with recognized criteria and standards.
Oxford University Press English teaching materials are all developed with these basic ideas in mind.
Oxford is here to help youThe introduction of the new curriculum will begin a period of transition, and we will support teachers and students every step of the way.
For more information on the new curriculum, including answers to common questions and concerns, see Guide to the LOMCE, written by Plcido Bazo and Marcos Peate. The guide is exclusively available for download onwww.oxfordpremium.es.
Our Professional Development Department provides teacher-training events and webinars as well as online videos that offer practical tips and advice on interpreting and implementing the reform.

6How we make your coursebook
Each new course is the result of teamwork. Teachers, authors and editors all play an essential part in the courses production, providing ideas and feedback that influence the content and help decide how each page works in the classroom.
Classroom visits, research trips and focus groups have allowed us to work with thousands of teachers across Spain. By identifying the content that students really love and advising on the components that make their lives easier, their opinions help to shape our courses, ensuring that they meet the needs of both students and teachers.
Changes to the curriculum also influence the process. Our editors and authors keep up to date with developments, making sure that our courses meet the latest requirements. New teaching methods, CLIL, blended learning and 21st century skills also have an impact.
Research 1
2 Creation
When you step into a classroom, you set your students on a journey, giving them the skills they need to succeed. The teaching materials you choose can inspire and engage them, catching their imagination and helping to make learning a joy.
Once our editors have identified the concept of the new course, our expert authors get involved. Many of our authors teach, or have taught, in Spain and keep in close contact with the classroom by visiting schools and talking to teachers at the events we organize throughout the year. The authors work with the editor to write the course, making sure that it practises a range of skills and meets curriculum requirements.
Together, the authors and the editor produce a manuscript a document that includes the written content of the course, along with instructions for design and images and any audio or video content. Once this is complete, the editor passes the manuscript to the art editor, who will arrange for preliminary pages to be designed.
The art editor chooses several artists to create sample artwork. These samples will be shown to a number of teachers and the artist that is most popular will produce the final artwork.

7PublicationFinally the course is ready for students to use! But publication isnt the end of the process: authors and specialized teacher trainers travel across Spain helping teachers to get the best from their course, answering questions, giving advice and listening to comments. The feedback they gather will help to provide the basis for the next coursebook!
5
Once the development process is completed and all reviews and corrections have been made the files are sent to the printer for printing and binding. They are also used as a source for digital conversion to e-books. When the books are finished they are shipped to the warehouse and are finally ready for distribution.
Manufacturing4
Development 3The manuscript is edited and designed to see how things will look on the page, and photography and artwork research is conducted in order to provide the most appropriate images. As the process progresses the pages go through a systematic review that includes several rounds of checking.
As the design evolves, content is checked to see how it works on the page, how it can help students find their way around, and how it can engage their interest. At this stage we invite teachers to try the materials while they are still in development, in order to incorporate their feedback and ensure that they will function in the classroom.
In the meantime, audio and video content is recorded, edited and checked for clarity and consistency. When all of the course materials are complete (audio, video, illustrations, photos ...)the whole range of course components is prepared. This includes Students Books, Workbooks, Teachers Books, classroom materials, interactive whiteboard tools and much more. At the same time digital books and Apps are developed, using the same original material transformed for digital media and adapted so that it will work interactively.

3 is the most difficult to play
4 you would like to play and why
Answers from page 67
1 flute = d woodwind
2 drums = b percussion
3 trumpet = c brass
4 violin = a strings
There are four sections of instruments in a symphony orchestra: strings, percussion, brass and woodwind.
The strings section is at the front of the orchestra. It is the biggest section and consists of the violins, violas, cellos and the double bass.
The woodwind section is behind the strings section. The flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons are all woodwind.
The brass section is on each side of the woodwind section. The trumpets, trombones and the tuba are on the right of the woodwind section. The French horns are on the left.
Behind the brass and woodwind sections are the percussion instruments drums and cymbals, for example, and castanets.
128 Focus on CLIL Complete all activities in your notebook.
CLIL and Culture
Culture and CLIL pages are included in each unit, covering the same subject from different contexts. This means that students have a much richer experience of the subject, and language is reinforced and recycled in overlapping contexts.
The Culture text in each unit not only extends students knowledge about the world, but also enriches their experience in a globalized world.
CLIL pages have been designed to make learning intuititive with as much information as possible in a form that is easily understood.

The Capulets have a party and Lord Capulet invites Paris, who wants to marry his daughter Juliet. Romeo and his companions, Benvolio and Mercutio, decide to go to the party, too.

Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare
Start thinking1 Read about William Shakespeare. Have you ever
seen one of his plays in the theatre or as a film? If so, what was the title, and what was it about?
2 Read the Background to the story on p.109. Where does the story take place? Who are Romeo and Juliet, and what do you think happens at the party?
About the authorWilliam Shakespeare
Born: 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England
Died: 1616
Important works: Shakespeare wrote over 30 plays including Romeo and Juliet (1594), A Midsummer Nights Dream (1595), The Merchant of Venice (1596), Hamlet (1600) and Macbeth (1606). He is also known for his poetry, particularly his sonnets.
Did you know? Shakespeare was an actor as well as a successful writer in his own time. He also owned part of the Globe Theatre in London, where his plays were performed. Today his works are still performed all over the world in English and in other languages. Directors often set them in a later period than the 16th century, or in the present day, because the themes are still relevant to modern society.
