Headway online feedback: Strengths

✔ One of the most recognized courses worldwide

✔ Visually appealing contents

✔ Detailed teacher’s guides (easily adapted to existing educational goals and curricula)

✔ Clear structure allowing both students and teachers to follow their goals

✔ Regular content updates

✔ Plenty of online extra materials, including great interactive exercises and downloadable resources to be used with each level (e.g. Student’s Site)

✔ Materials used in the course e.g. reading comprehension texts, listening parts are authentic and relevant

✔ Grammar parts and materials are well organised and presented, extra practice on grammar

Headway online feedback: Weaknesses

✔ Main focus of the course is on grammar and reading skills

✔ Lack of face-to-face communicative tasks

✔ Learners’ progress could be traced more regularly and easily (Student’s Portfolio, Unit Progress tests)

✔ Tasks in grammar and reading section could be more diverse
