43 LESSONS
Communication Block (31 lessons)
The Communicative Approach is the most popular and effective method of language learning. The authors of the NOTES textbook have designed this block, focusing on vocabulary and conversational skills. In this block, you will learn new words and expressions, practice them in context, and improve your listening skills.
Grammar Block (12 lessons)
In the grammar block, each lesson ALWAYS includes a video explanation by the teacher. So, you don't have to worry about dealing with complex grammar on your own. Additionally, concise and visual explanations can be found in tables. These tables are useful not only for visual learners but also for those who want additional examples on the topic.
VIDEO
The video format helps us make grammar explanations more accessible and understandable. Furthermore, the videos in the textbook help demonstrate new vocabulary in context. Don't ignore our videos as you progress through the level – they will help you quickly memorize the necessary vocabulary and grammar.
AUDIO
Audio tasks are an essential part of the language learning process, especially at the beginner levels. We have not only included such tasks in the textbook but also provided the opportunity to listen to any new or unfamiliar word. Each word from the lesson can be found with audio pronunciation in the reference tab (in the wordlist section), and complete transcriptions are available for each listening task at the end of the lesson.
Unique and Contemporary Content
NOTES is an uncensored textbook. We noticed that British editions tend to avoid a wide range of topics in their textbooks, such as religion, politics, and sex. That's why we decided to create a textbook that teaches you to speak about these topics in English. The unconventional, witty, and contemporary texts were specifically designed for you to learn real-life English today.
More than 20 types of tasks
You won't get bored with tasks in NOTES for several reasons. Firstly, these tasks are diverse – fill in the gaps, match, select, find mistakes, and more. There are over 20 types of tasks! Secondly, you can immediately check yourself. At the end of almost every task, there are three buttons: CHECK, SHOW ANSWERS, and RESET. This allows you to see your progress and control how well you have mastered the material.
Revision
Both the Communication Block and Grammar Block include revision. In the communication block, every 3rd lesson is a revision lesson. In the grammar block, there is one revision lesson at the end.
Reference
Here, you will find all the word lists by topic and grammar tables. This serves as your concise summary of the entire course. Use it to quickly recall the necessary information or review the entire course.

For Teachers and Tutors
The textbook offers modern topics, interesting texts, over 20 different types of tasks, grammar tables, and tests. Download the textbook for yourself and your students, and you'll spend a minimal amount of time preparing for lessons! This tutorial will be easily accessible on any device. However, if you prefer, you can also purchase a printed version. Moreover, the textbook already includes tasks designed for pair and group work, games, discussion and debate prompts. The authors of the educational platform have employed the most effective and proven methods, such as Communicative Language Teaching, the Lexical Approach, TBL (Task-Based Learning), TTT (Test, Teach, Test), TPR (Total Physical Response), as well as elements of the Audio-Lingual Method and others.
For self study
Video instructions for the tasks, interactive exercises with self-testing capability, and abundant audio and video materials enable you to independently progress through any level. If you come across a task in the textbook designed for pair work, simply use a recorder to record yourself, transforming the dialogue into a monologue where you express your own opinion. Grammar and vocabulary presentation follow the Guided Discovery Approach, which is one of the most effective approaches to learning. It actively engages and promotes the independence of the student.

You will be able to successfully complete this level entirely on your own, as all the necessary materials are available on the interactive platform. The textbook comprehensively explains all the rules and vocabulary of Level B1 and reinforces them through exercises, tests, as well as video and audio materials.
