Modern Direct Method textbooks

Created by experts

English Unlocked is the result of the work of teachers, methodologists and native speakers with many years of experience in teaching English. Thanks to the combination of practice and comprehensive knowledge, we have created material that effectively responds to the real needs of both students and teachers. We are confident that with our textbooks students start speaking faster!

2 in 1 – A course- and notebook

Words with questions on the left, notebook on the right – a solution that combines convenience with simplicity. Students love this form because they don’t have to carry extra materials – they have everything they need in one textbook! This makes learning more structured, and using the book in class and at home is quick and intuitive.

The effectiveness of the Direct method

English Unlocked textbook with over 1200 practice questions is the essence of the of the direct method. We dispense with most of the dry grammar terms disliked by students in favor of the most important grammar concepts shown in a practical way in Must-Have sections. With our textbooks, communication in class runs smoothly.

Answers at the end of the book

Studies conducted on our test groups have shown that students who do not see the answer in class, start talking faster. That’s why the answers have been placed in forme exercises at the end of the textbook. Lecturers confirm that makes it easier them to conduct classes!

Quality

Students emphasize that they love the aesthetic and tactile cover with soft touch foil in our textbook. In addition, spiral binding provides convenience of use, allowing to freely turn the pages and open them fully. This type of binding guarantees much greater resistance against damage, folds or tears. Despite the higher production costs, we used this method in our textbook responding to the students’ needs and the voices of the lecturers.

Exercises for home

At the end of the textbook there are exercises in the Direct spirit. The focus is on consolidating vocabulary, rather than filling in grammar rules that are impractical and disliked by students. Grammar, on the other hand, is taught “involuntarily” in a naturally – through questions and answers, which allows students to acquire language rules intuitively and effortlessly.

In order to preserve the essence of the Direct method, but at the same time meet the expectations of inquisitive students, we have created Must-Have sections. These are boxes with useful words/phrases, dialogues and grammar issues explained in a practical way.

Based on years of experience, we know that dry diagrams and grammar terms do not help students achieve fluency. Students naturally learn the rules through lots of repetition in questions and their own answers. We include the most important concepts in Must Have sections explaining them in a very practical way so that every student can understand and memorize them.

Lecturers, methodologists and native speakers with more than 20 years of experience in teaching English are responsible for writing the textbooks. Gathering in one place knowledge and valuable experience allowed us to create materials that meet the real needs of students and eliminate the main problems faced by students and teachers in their daily work.
