Matrix develops grammar, vocabulary and the four main skills within an exam context.

Engaging texts provide authentic input for the development of students’ reading and listening skills, and provide cultural information.

Each unit is theme-related, with topics chosen for their appeal to 16-19 year-olds.

Grammar is presented and practised in a way that allows students to reflect on their understanding of English, and see it fall into place.

Exam training is highlighted throughout the course via ‘Quick tip’ and ‘Exam training’ boxes which offer students practical advice on developing both study skills and examination techniques.
