WOW! takes the form of a lively (fictitious) TV programme for young people which is itself called WOW!, or Window on the World.
It appeals directly to young teenage learners by following the familiar conventions and genres of youth TV: quizzes, travel reports, documentary features, interviews and cartoons across a range of lively and often exciting topics.
Key features:
-Clear structural syllabus which provides students with a systematic and thorough foundation in grammar, from the simple present to the third conditional.
-Grammar points are clearly identified, explained, and practised through the imaginative contexts provided by the television programme format.
-Everyday functional English is taught through regular, humorous cartoon sketches.
-Controlled development of all four language skills, pronunciation, and vocabulary are also systematically covered throughout the three levels.
