Eyes Open is a highly visual coursebook for teenage ELT students co-authored by Ben Goldstein and Ceri Jones which recognises that youth culture today is visually oriented, that video is becoming the primary means of information presentation in digital global media, and that teenagers relate well to material that is visually attractive. The images and videos, which were produced by Anna Whitcher, in Eyes Open have been chosen to appeal to young students and teachers.
