Motivating for students
Top Marks keeps students’ interest through motivating topics, songs and questionnaires, while offering thorough exam preparation and practice.

Solid language development and consolidation
Top Marks provides a strong focus on vocabulary building, including sections on easily confused words. Grammar is clearly presented and practised. Special attention is given to typical errors due to first language interference.

Balanced treatment of all skills
Top Marks offers structured practice and consolidation of all skills. Students are guided through all stages of speaking supported by Topic Vocabulary and Useful Language lists. A complete Writing Guide with generic writing plans complements the strong writing syllabus.

Thorough exam preparation
