* Headway 牛津影响力研究于 2018 年 1 月和 2 月进行，共收到 170 名教师的回复。牛津影响力是一种独特的评估牛津大学出版社教育产品和服务对教学影响的方法。
语言培训师，德国：
每个单元都以一个开篇页开始，其中包含一张与主题相关的照片和一段引言。练习内容则在开篇页的另一面介绍。在我的课堂上，使用开篇图片来介绍单元主题已被证明是有效的。它让学习者有机会对单元进行热身，自由地参与课堂讨论，而不会被诱惑先完成其他任务。
本版的教学方法秉承了 Headway 一贯的传统教学法和交际教学法相结合的理念。我发现这种方法非常适合中等水平的学习者。每个单元都涵盖了所有四项技能。与第四版一样，本书始终强调口语教学。语法大纲也保留了下来。这种教学组合对我来说很有效，我发现单元主题在介绍/复习语法的同时，也能够很好地吸引学生，而不会过于沉迷于元语言。每个单元的最后一部分涵盖了写作。
课程和练习册提供了大量可下载的在线资料，这在本版中发挥了重要作用。每页页脚都提供了参考资料和额外的在线练习技巧。
访问在线资料非常简单。教材封面内侧提供的访问代码一次就能用。如有困难，可以通过实时聊天获得帮助。到目前为止，我已经能够找到并下载所有需要的资料。
教师在线资源平台（可通过教师指南背面的单独代码访问）提供了丰富的资源选择。有音频资料（练习册/教材）和单元专用视频资料（附带可复印的工作表）。还有分班考试、单元测试以及许多其他资源。甚至还有针对特定单元的阅读障碍人士的学习资料。每个单元包含两个视频文件：
第一个视频介绍主题，建议在课前观看。
第二个视频时长约10分钟，由三个部分组成。每部分都对主题进行了更深入的探讨。本视频材料由真人使用地道语言演绎。语言与本单元涵盖的语法高度契合，从而巩固了所学知识。视频中提供了一个可下载的工作表，其中包含与视频内容相关的任务，用户可以在单元的最后一节课中使用它来将所学内容付诸实践。
这可能是目前最好的英语教学/学习资源之一。可以看出，这是由对沟通充满热情的专业人士创作的。每一页的视觉效果都恰到好处，旨在提醒人们学习（或教授）一门语言的初衷。总的来说，本版的主题融合了冒险、欢乐、幽默和幽默。

* The Headway Oxford Impact study was conducted in January and February 2018. 170 teachers responded. Oxford Impact is a unique way of evaluating the impact that educational products and services from Oxford University Press have on teaching and learning.
Language Trainer, Germany:
Each unit starts with an opener page consisting of a theme-related photograph and an accompanying quote. The exercise-based content is introduced on the flip side. Using the opener image to introduce the unit theme has proved effective in my classes. It gives learners a chance to warm up to the unit, participate in class discussions freely without being tempted to work through the tasks ahead of the rest.
The methodology in this edition stays loyal to Headway’s established mix of traditional and communicative approach. I have found this to be well-suited to the average intermediate level learner. All four skills are featured in each unit. As in the fourth edition, there is a strong focus on speaking throughout. The grammar syllabus has also remained. This mix has worked for me and I have found that the unit themes manage to engage while introducing/revising grammar, without lapsing too deeply into meta language. The last section of each unit covers writing.
There is plenty of downloadable online material to go with the course and workbook and it plays a substantial role in this edition. At the foot of every page there are references and tips for extra online practice.
Access to the online material is straight forward. The access code, provided on the inside of the Course Book cover, worked from the first attempt. In case of difficulties, it is possible to get help via live chat. So far, I have been able to locate and download all the materials needed.
On the online resource platform for teachers (accessed via a separate code in the back of the Teachers’ Guide) the choice is abundant. There are audio materials (workbook/course book) and unit-specific video materials (accompanied by photocopiable worksheets). There are placement and unit-based tests and many other resources. There are even unit-specific dyslexia-friendly materials. Each unit features two video files:
The first one introduces the theme and is to be watched before the lesson.
The second video is around 10 minutes long and consists of three parts. Each part delves a step deeper into the topic. This video material involves real people using authentic language. The language corresponds particularly well to the grammar covered in the unit and therefore solidifies the points covered. There is a downloadable worksheet with tasks relating to the video content and one can use it in the last session of the unit to put the acquired content to use.
This is possibly one of the best resources for teaching/learning English out there. One can tell that this is the work of professionals with a passion for communication. The visuals on every page are extremely well-suited and designed to remind why one learns to speak (or teach) a language in the first place. Overall, the topics in this edition display a medley of adventure, joy, humou
