Blockbuster 4 is a modular course in English aimed at students within the category of B1+. The course incorporates both a cross-cultural and a cross-curricular approach, and its syllabus reflects the guidelines of the European Framework. Blockbuster 4 develops all four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) through a variety of communicative tasks, and systematically recycles key language items. Above all, it is designed to promote active (activating all new vocabulary and structures in meaningful, everyday situations), holistic (encouraging the creative collective use as well as the linguistic analytical use of students' brains) and humanistic learning (acquiring and practising language through pleasant tasks and topics paying attention to students' needs, feelings and desires).
