Where Are We Going Next?
The spirit of Time Zones Third Edition can be captured in one motivating question: Where are we going next?
The series encourages teenage learners to look beyond the classroom, discover new places, explore different cultures, meet inspiring global citizens, and use English as a practical tool for understanding and communicating with the wider world.
Across all five levels, learners develop language through compelling photography, video, stories, global themes, and carefully scaffolded activities that move progressively from supported practice toward greater independence.
About Time Zones Third Edition
Time Zones Third Edition is an American English course for teenage and secondary-school learners progressing from Pre-A1 to B1.
The series combines National Geographic photography, updated videos, stories of global citizens, teacher-tested language lessons, and carefully structured practice activities.
Rather than presenting English as an isolated school subject, Time Zones connects language learning with real people, places, cultures, environments, discoveries, experiences, and ideas.
A Complete Pre-A1 to B1 Learning Pathway
The five-level collection provides a continuous pathway from true beginner English to increasingly confident low-intermediate communication.
At the earliest levels, learners build foundations in vocabulary, simple sentence patterns, listening, pronunciation, reading, writing, and basic spoken exchanges.
At higher levels, students work with longer spoken and written texts, broader vocabulary, increasingly complex grammar, extended responses, opinions, explanations, comparisons, discussions, and more independent communication.
Student’s Books Across All Five Levels
A Student’s Book PDF is included for every level.
The Student’s Books provide the central learning pathway for classroom teaching, private tutoring, homework preparation, revision, and guided independent study.
Across the series, learners progress systematically from first English words and simple phrases toward more connected spoken and written communication at B1.
Teacher’s Books for Every Level
A Teacher’s Book PDF is included for each of the five levels.
Teacher’s Books can support lesson preparation, understanding course objectives, organizing classroom stages, presenting language, managing practice, and making effective use of supplementary resources.
For schools and language centers working across multiple proficiency levels, the complete set provides consistent teacher support from Starter to Level 4.
Workbook Practice Throughout the Series
Workbook resources are included across all five levels, providing additional opportunities to reinforce vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, and other language introduced during lessons.
Teachers can use workbook activities for classroom reinforcement, homework, revision, extra practice, or support for students who need more repetition.
Answer resources also support efficient checking, correction, review, and carefully guided independent learning.
Complete Audio Resources
Audio resources are included for all five levels.
Regular listening practice supports development in comprehension, pronunciation awareness, vocabulary recognition, sentence rhythm, stress, intonation, and familiarity with spoken American English.
As learners progress, audio can be used for increasingly sophisticated listening purposes, including identifying main ideas, recognizing specific details, understanding opinions, taking notes, analyzing pronunciation, and preparing for speaking activities.
Video Resources for Every Level
Video is included throughout the complete five-level collection.
Video can help learners connect spoken English with people, places, actions, facial expressions, gestures, cultures, environments, and real-world situations.
Teachers can use video for prediction, vocabulary development, comprehension, discussion, role play, critical thinking, note-taking, speaking prompts, review, and follow-up writing.
Tests Across All Five Levels
Tests are included for Starter and Levels 1–4.
Assessment resources can help teachers monitor learner progress, identify strengths and weaknesses, plan revision, and determine which language or skills require further practice.
Regular assessment can also help students see evidence of their development as they progress through the complete Pre-A1 to B1 pathway.
ExamView Resources for All Five Levels
ExamView resources are included for Starter and Levels 1–4.
Depending on the specific files, software version, and computer environment, ExamView materials may support the creation, organization, customization, or delivery of assessment activities.
Compatibility can depend on operating system version, processor architecture, permissions, security settings, software requirements, and other technical factors.
CEFR Correlation Documents
A CEFR correlation document is included for every level.
These documents can help teachers, schools, curriculum planners, and language centers understand how course content relates to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The complete pathway covers:
- Starter: Pre-A1
- Level 1: Pre-A1
- Level 2: A1
- Level 3: A2
- Level 4: B1
Designed for Teenage and Secondary Learners
Teenage learners need materials that are accessible without feeling childish.
Time Zones addresses this challenge through powerful photography, global themes, video, real-world stories, and age-appropriate topics that can stimulate curiosity while supporting systematic language development.
The five-level pathway allows students to continue using the same overall course philosophy as their proficiency grows from true beginner to low-intermediate English.
Learning Through Amazing Photography
Photography is a defining part of the Time Zones learning experience.
Powerful images can capture attention, stimulate curiosity, provide context, introduce topics, support vocabulary development, encourage prediction, and create opportunities for communication.
For beginner learners, photographs provide immediate clues about people, places, objects, animals, actions, and situations. At higher levels, the same visual richness can support interpretation, comparison, discussion, critical thinking, and personal response.
Updated Video and Multimedia Learning
Video adds another dimension to language learning by combining spoken English with visual information.
Learners can observe settings, actions, facial expressions, gestures, speaker relationships, and contextual clues while listening.
Across the complete course, video can support comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation awareness, discussion, role play, note-taking, critical thinking, and follow-up writing.
Stories of Global Citizens
Stories about people around the world can make English learning more human, relevant, and memorable.
Teenage learners can encounter individuals with different experiences, interests, cultures, ideas, challenges, and achievements while developing their language skills.
These stories can create meaningful starting points for reading, listening, vocabulary development, speaking, reflection, comparison, and discussion.
Developing Vocabulary from Pre-A1 to B1
Vocabulary development progresses systematically across the five levels.
At Pre-A1, learners begin with essential words and everyday expressions. At A1 and A2, they expand their vocabulary for familiar topics, experiences, routines, places, activities, and communication needs. By B1, learners need a broader and more flexible vocabulary range for explaining ideas, expressing opinions, discussing experiences, and understanding increasingly varied content.
Repeated exposure through Student’s Books, workbooks, audio, video, tests, and classroom activities can support recognition, retention, and increasingly confident use.
Developing Listening Skills from Pre-A1 to B1
The complete collection supports progressive development from recognizing familiar words to understanding increasingly extended spoken English.
- Recognizing familiar language: Identifying known words, phrases, and expressions.
- Listening for main ideas: Understanding the general topic, purpose, or central message.
- Listening for specific details: Recognizing names, numbers, times, places, facts, reasons, examples, and opinions.
- Following conversations: Understanding increasingly developed spoken exchanges.
- Recognizing speaker purpose: Identifying why someone is communicating.
- Understanding viewpoints: Recognizing opinions, preferences, agreement, disagreement, and reactions.
- Taking notes: Recording keywords, main ideas, and supporting information.
- Using context: Combining language, visual clues, topic knowledge, and situation to support comprehension.
- Understanding connected speech: Becoming more familiar with stress, rhythm, linking, reduction, and natural pronunciation.
- Building listening independence: Understanding essential meaning even when some individual words are unfamiliar.
Developing Speaking Skills from Pre-A1 to B1
Speaking development progresses from highly supported words and short phrases toward increasingly extended and independent communication.
- Repeating useful language: Practicing essential words, phrases, and sentence patterns.
- Giving personal information: Talking about names, ages, homes, families, interests, routines, and experiences.
- Asking and answering questions: Exchanging information in familiar situations.
- Describing people and places: Providing increasingly detailed descriptions.
- Talking about experiences: Describing past and present events.
- Expressing preferences: Communicating likes, dislikes, choices, and viewpoints.
- Giving reasons: Supporting opinions and preferences with explanations.
- Comparing ideas: Discussing similarities, differences, advantages, disadvantages, and choices.
- Giving extended responses: Moving beyond brief answers toward developed spoken communication.
- Participating in discussions: Listening, responding, asking follow-up questions, agreeing, disagreeing, and maintaining interaction.
Pronunciation Development
Pronunciation develops progressively throughout the course.
At beginner levels, learners focus on recognizing and reproducing English sounds, words, simple phrases, stress patterns, and basic intonation.
As proficiency increases, students can develop stronger awareness of word stress, sentence stress, rhythm, phrasing, linking, connected speech, and intonation through repeated exposure to audio and video.
Reading Development from Pre-A1 to B1
Reading development progresses from recognizing familiar words and short sentences toward understanding increasingly varied texts on accessible and familiar topics.
At lower levels, photographs and other visual clues support understanding. At higher levels, students increasingly identify main ideas, supporting information, opinions, narrative development, and contextual meaning.
The global themes and visual content can also encourage prediction, interpretation, comparison, personal response, and critical thinking.
Writing Development from Pre-A1 to B1
Writing progresses from individual words and highly guided phrases toward increasingly connected and organized texts.
Beginning learners can practice personal information, labels, short phrases, and simple sentences. A1 and A2 learners move toward descriptions, messages, experiences, routines, preferences, and short connected responses.
At B1, learners increasingly develop organized writing that describes experiences, explains opinions, gives reasons, discusses plans, and communicates ideas with greater independence.
Grammar in Meaningful Contexts
Grammar development is most effective when learners understand how language forms are connected with meaning and communication.
Across the five levels, learners can encounter grammar through visual contexts, reading, listening, video, examples, controlled practice, speaking, and writing.
This progression helps move grammar beyond isolated rules and shows learners how structures function in practical communication.
Carefully Scaffolded Practice
Scaffolding is especially important in a multi-level language course.
At lower levels, students need strong visual support, clear models, repetition, controlled practice, and manageable tasks. As proficiency increases, support can gradually be reduced while activities become more open, communicative, and cognitively demanding.
This step-by-step progression can help learners build confidence without becoming overwhelmed.
From Input to Communication
Effective language development connects receptive input with productive communication.
Learners first encounter English through photography, reading, audio, video, models, and contextualized examples. They then analyze vocabulary and grammar before applying new language through speaking and writing.
Across five levels, this progression supports a gradual transition from highly supported language use toward increasingly independent communication.
Developing Critical Thinking
As learners become more proficient, they can move beyond simple recognition and comprehension toward prediction, comparison, interpretation, evaluation, and personal response.
Photography, video, global topics, and stories of real people can provide opportunities for students to consider different perspectives, explain opinions, compare possibilities, make connections, and support ideas with reasons.
These activities can strengthen both language development and broader thinking skills.
Exploring the World Through English
Time Zones encourages teenage learners to see English as more than a school subject. It becomes a way to explore and understand the wider world.
Global themes can introduce students to different places, communities, cultures, environments, experiences, discoveries, challenges, and perspectives.
This approach gives language learning a meaningful purpose and can encourage teenagers to remain curious about the world around them.
