It can be used for independent online learning, as part of a complete blended-learning system, or both. Aligned with the CEFR, students master language by encountering over 5,000 words across multiple varied contexts within 80 real-life topics.
Alongside language acquisition, VOCAB 5000 actively develops the everyday digital skills ESOL students need for modern life and further study.

A teacher's testimonial
“They enjoyed the programme so much that they would come looking for me before the lesson even started, so that we would not waste even a little time.”
