New English File Culture Link allows teachers to integrate language instruction with cultural topics and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). The lessons serve as a springboard for discussing current affairs and social issues, enhancing the English language learning experience. Teachers can create units around broader themes like travel, road safety, the environment, and entertainment, assigning projects for deeper exploration. This resource complements the New English File Pre-intermediate and Intermediate syllabi with 27 self-contained lessons focusing on culture and interdisciplinary topics. The accompanying DVD features seven authentic interviews, paired with video worksheets and selected lessons. Each lesson aims to develop the four language skills through activities such as Reading and Speaking or Listening and Speaking. A 'what do you think?' section encourages students to express their opinions, facilitating discussions. Lessons conclude with a project that guides students in further research on the topic. Targeted at levels B1-B2, the package includes a free audio CD with listening activities and reading passages. Teacher's notes and tapescripts are available online, and the topics are suitable for Trinity and Cambridge ESOL exam preparation.
