Series Overview

American JETSTREAM Upper-intermediate

Motivating topics, plenty of language practice and a focus on vocabulary and speaking help equip students with the language they really need.

American JETSTREAM Upper-intermediate equips students with the language they need and encourages them to take responsibility for their own learning.

  • Guided Writing tasks cover a variety of genres, while the Check it! sections help students review and improve their writing
  • Search and Think exercises invite students to revisit reading and listening texts to analyze grammatical structures and vocabulary in detail
  • Phrasal Verbs texts revise phrasal verbs that students already know and introduce new ones in context
  • Your story tasks allow students to think about how lessons relate to them personally and share their ‘story’ with others
  • Takeaway English highlights useful everyday expressions for students to ‘take away’ to use themselves
