Teaching phonics is recognised educationally as an essential part of the teaching of reading and writing. The Macmillan English Explorers Phonics Reading Series complements the first four levels of the existing Explorers Reading Scheme in a way that will teach children how to sound out words and blend sounds to read words and to segment the sounds in the words in order to accurately spell them. Each book in the new series has a strong, identifiable phonic focus and the phonic focus is set within the context of a story to ensure that reading for meaning is retained. Popular and familiar characters from the Macmillan English Explorers series can be found, along with the introduction of new contexts and characters. Perfect for using alongside the existing Macmillan English Explorers reading scheme to add further depth and context, or as a stand-alone phonics reading scheme.

A 4-level course for secondary and for schools with fewer contact hours (2-3 per week). It starts at A1 and ends at B1. The course will meet different sales and marketing needs primarily in our CEE markets (incl. Russia and Turkey, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) and will be treated as replacement/alternative to Smash and Tempo. Some markets will be looking to reach out to new segments of secondary, others will be targeting whole new markets that we're not present in, and finally, just having an alternative course for this segment to take to our customers is seen as a welcome opportunity to increase Macmillan's market share in lower secondary. The course is a version of the Spanish ESO course Interface and offers a solid and well-paced approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and the four skills in equal balance and with emphasis on mixed abilities. The material stands out with its thorough and comprehensive grammar.

Сюжет романа берет свое начало в Голландии в 1672 году. Молодой Корнелиус Ван Баерле нашел секрет выращивания черного тюльпана, и он скоро получит выигрыш, обещанный первому человеку, добившемуся черного цвета. Но у Корнелиуса есть завистливый сосед, и в напряженной политической ситуации этого года, этот человек оказывается опасным врагом... Cornelius von Baerle lives only to cultivate the elusive black tulip and win a magnificent prize for its creation. But when his powerful godfather is assassinated, the unwitting Cornelius becomes caught up in a deadly political intrigue. Falsely accused of high treason by a bitter rival, Cornelius is condemned to life in prison. His only comfort is Rosa, the jailer`s beautiful daughter, who helps him concoct a plan to grow the black tulip in secret.
