This book is a great classroom resource for teachers who work in the English Language domain. The content materials are suitable for upper-intermediate and advanced-level English speakers, including school students Year 10 to Year 12, ESL adult learners, and individuals who need to sit the academic IELTS.

Academic language functions included in this book are:

compare and contrast
cause and effect
expressing opinions
discussion - a balanced debate
problems and solutions

Academic Language Functions:

introduces a bank of vocabulary with short practice activities
provides opportunities for students to develop speaking skills by playing board games
encourages students to use the target language to improve their writing skills

The worksheets and board games are designed to facilitate group learning in a fun and interactive way, although students can also do the activities individually.

Another great feature of this resource is that ANSWERS are included

Industry Reviews

Academic Language Functions, by Anette Brand, was used by me in a secondary school setting. The students I teach benefited from interactive learning and managed to expand their vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a compelling way. I found the scaffolded approach to academic language functions for academic purposes particularly useful. This resource supported me as an educator to engage students in learning and support them by developing and expressing content understandings.

"I found the board games very useful as my adult learners were fully engaged. The board games gave the students the opportunity to interact, practise the target language and at the same time enjoy the process of learning."
