Press Release 03/02/2010

Last week saw the UK launch of 'Global' with events being held in Bournemouth, London, Dublin as well as Macmillan's base in Oxford.

Authors, editors, teachers and distributors came together to share in the celebrations which took place in inspiring museum locations such as the newly refurbished Ashmolean museum in Oxford. With a mixture of music and cuisine from around the world the parties mirrored the global themes of a global course.

With intelligent topics, authentic voices and a truly global outlook Global is an exciting addition to the Macmillan Education portfolio which already boasts other best-selling courses such as Inside Out.

Global is a truly multimedia course, with a range of digital components and stylish print coursebooks that embrace cutting edge learning methods, and take this coursebook in to a league of its own.

The publisher for the course Rafael Alarcon-Gaeta said 'We don't publish courses like Global every year. And more importantly, courses like Global are not published every year. We feel that there is an appetite for a course that builds on all the good work that has been done in the field of English language teaching, but takes things further and reflects new needs. A course that enables users to learn English as it is used in our globalised world, and to learn through English using information-rich topics and texts.'
