One topic, four ways to learn it

Learn vocabulary. Practise it. Speak it. Write it.

Every unit takes the same vocabulary through four stages – online learning, classroom practice, speaking, and guided writing – so learners understand the vocabulary, remember it, and can actually use it in real life. Built-in spaced repetition brings key vocabulary back at the right intervals, helping it stick over time.

Institutions can run VOCAB 5000 as a complete blended-learning system or dip into it as a standalone resource. It works equally well on laptops and mobile phones, so students can learn and practise wherever they are.

Once a school holds a licence, teachers can also download the accompanying resource packs, speaking cards and guided writing posters for classroom use, homework, or extra revision.
