Open Mind encourages students to become independent learners and analyse their own progress through the functional language and grammar syllabus built into the course. This, combined with a unique life skills theme running through the course, helps them become well-rounded individuals as well as confident speakers of English.

The philosophy behind Open Mind is that in order to answer the needs of 21st century students, a language course needs to engage with them on many levels. Open Mind targets students’ language needs but also provides them with the professional, academic and personal skills they need for all-round success.

Vibrant, well-rounded and engaging, the course is packed with high-quality authentic video material, strong visuals and topics that get students talking. The course is flexible with options for digital delivery, and the strong life skills strand underpins the course.
