Hello to fellow teachers!
I’ve been trying to find a curriculum/coursebook for adult learners (general and business) that fits the following requirements of mine:
1. Should be relatively modern and authentic with authentic video, audio and texts, but still calibrated by cefr/gse/ etc levels
2. Should emphasize vocabulary recycling throughout each course in the program.
3. (Optional, probably doesn’t exist) aimed towards tech workforce: software engineers, data analysts, QA engineers etc.
So far I’ve been only able to find programs that only satisfy one criteria or the other. For example, I find Oxford Wide Angle very up-to-date and contemporary, but I hate the vocabulary work they offer. New vocabulary is introduced once and only can be found in exercises in this particular unit.
A benchmark coursebook where vocabulary recycling is perfectly thought out is Oxford Inside Reading. The vocab is carefully built upon each unit and recycled abundantly in the following units, readings, exercises and prompts. But unfortunately, it is quite dated and is for academic purposes.
Thanks to all who responds!
