What is this webinar about?
Join us for this exclusive webinar introducing Shining Lights, a dynamic blended English course for secondary students (A1–C1+) with a unique learning and assessment journey at its heart which provides the tools and foundations for leaners to explore their full potential in academic studies exam performance and life.
Discover how Shining Lights is built around four key pillars that work together to help learners stand out:
Integrated learning and assessment – providing ongoing formative feedback and personalised recommendations to guide learners’ progress.
Problem-based learning – encouraging students to think critically and creatively as they explore solutions to real-world issues.
Oracy – developing confident communicators who can express ideas clearly and listen with empathy and purpose.
Life Competencies – fostering collaboration, creativity, and lifelong learning skills for success beyond the classroom.
You’ll also see how Shining Lights’ digital tools and resources bring these pillars to life through interactive lessons, automated feedback, and progress tracking that make teaching and learning more effective and engaging. Join us to explore how Shining Lights supports every learner’s journey to become a confident, capable communicator – ready to shine in exams and in life.
