The first thing that has to be said about Technology is Context is that it includes an enormous amount of useful material. The program is based around six video features from the BBC's Tomorrow's World series. These are on topics of general interest such as identity parades, earthquakes and snoring. The language is authentic, providing excellent listening practice for higher level students, and is exploited with a wide variety of (over 400) comprehension, grammar, speaking and writing tasks.

Technology in Context includes additional independent learning resources including oral presentation practice, extended writing tasks, links to related websites and a range of language games.

The program includes tracking of student activity, as well as self-study and teacher's notes with suggestions for preparation and follow-up activities. Technology in Context is presented by the publishers primarily as a self-access resource, but could equally well be used to create useful and enjoyable lessons.
