Power Up Second Edition is a dynamic and engaging English course designed to prepare young learners for Cambridge English Qualifications and success beyond the classroom. Developed by experienced authors Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson, this updated edition helps children develop strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills while learning English in meaningful, fun ways.

In this exciting new edition, students reunite with Jim and Jenny as they embark on fresh missions and adventures. Each mission encourages learners to use English actively through real-world tasks, creative projects, and group activities. The course empowers students to become confident and independent learners who reflect on their own progress and learn to take responsibility for their learning journey.

Aligned with the Cambridge Life Competencies Framework, Power Up Second Edition focuses on developing essential life skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and social responsibility. Lessons are packed with multi-sensory activities, songs, raps, games, and videos that make learning grammar and vocabulary both enjoyable and memorable. Learners are motivated to use natural English in meaningful contexts, helping them build fluency and confidence from the start.

The course also integrates the Cambridge Sustainability Framework for ELT, bringing global topics and environmental awareness into classroom conversations. This approach encourages learners to think about real-world challenges and how they can make a positive difference, all while improving their English.

Each unit follows a structured approach that includes reflection and self-evaluation tasks, allowing students to assess their progress and celebrate achievements. Teachers are supported with a range of digital tools and classroom resources, including eBooks, interactive games, videos, and printable worksheets, all designed to enhance engagement and flexibility in lesson planning.

Power Up Second Edition offers an integrated learning and assessment pathway that helps learners progress smoothly toward the B1 level. Built-in exam preparation materials give students valuable practice with Cambridge English Qualification-style tasks, ensuring they are familiar with the format and confident on test day.

One of the highlights of the course is the Mission structure, where students work collaboratively on projects that mirror real-life situations. These multi-stage activities allow learners to apply language in creative and practical ways, helping them see the connection between classroom learning and the world outside.

From engaging stories and animated videos to interactive online practice, Power Up Second Edition transforms language learning into an inspiring journey. It is the perfect choice for teachers who want to equip their students with both strong English skills and the confidence to use them in life, study, and future challenges.

With Power Up Second Edition, every lesson becomes a step toward lifelong learning, global awareness, and personal growth — ensuring that young learners reach their full potential in and beyond the classroom.
