A seven-level series for young adults based on the idea that for students to succeed in this dynamic and global world they need to become competent not only in English, but also in vital higher-order skills that apply to their academic, professional and social lives. This course provides learners with ‘language essentials’, ‘skills’, ‘lifeskills’ and ‘learner development’ to prepare and empower them to function effectively within their wider social, cultural and economic environments. openMind caters for beginner to pre-intermediate levels.
