Laser is now a five-level course, with the addition of two new levels, A1+ and A2, designed to cater to younger exam students, and now covers the entire span of secondary education. It is the perfect preparation for students still at school and working towards school-leaving exams and the Cambridge ESOL, KET, PET and FCE exams. The vibrant topic-based units cover the lexical and grammatical syllabus of the Breakthrough to Vantage levels of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework. The course integrates development of all the language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking, and regular revision sections check continuous progress. Each Student's Book comes with a CD-ROM that reinforces the structures and vocabulary learnt in each unit. Each Workbook is complete with Audio CD, making it ideal for homework, and the Teacher's Book includes a DVD-ROM with tests, a test generator and teacher-training videos. Class CDs are also available.

The Teacher's Book Premium Pack consists of a Print Teacher's Book with Class audio CD, DVD, and webcode access to the Teacher's Resource Center, Online Workbook, Presentation Kit, and Digital Student's Book. Interleaved Print Teacher's Book incorporates the key life skills strand. Detailed notes provide helpful support and useful tips throughout.

"Mind Series" is a seven-level series for young adults which is 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. "Mind Series" 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 and "masterMind" is for those at intermediate to advanced level. "masterMind" retains many of the features of openMind while catering for the changes in interests, competencies and needs at this higher level.
