Tell us about one favorite speacial feature of Inspired, and how it was developed.
The new Language Links sections raise awareness of language use, and are a response to teachers’ requests for a focus on how languages work.
What makes Inspired different from American Inspiration?
Inspired has a more task-based approach, with new and updated cross-curricular and cultural content, and a greater focus on vocabulary building and learner independence. And, of course, it has a fresh design!
