Insights
You spoke. We listened.We conducted extensive research and input from learners, teachers, and language experts, and their input has helped us shape content that drives results.
Insights from students
We asked over 2,000 students from all over the world what topics they would like to discuss in English and in what situations they would like to be able to speak more confidently. The ideas are included throughout the Student’s Book and the students appear in short videos responding to discussion questions.
Insights from teachers
Teachers from all over the world were instrumental to the conceptualization and development of EVOLVE. Through extensive market research, in-person discussions at schools, and constant reviews of material, we’ve ensured that EVOLVE meets the needs of teachers and their students.

Experts in pedagogy and language research have contributed to the ideas underpinning EVOLVE, and many features of the course have been informed by research drawn from the Cambridge International Corpus.                      Â
