The Core Student Book provides a firm foundation of skills and knowledge for students working in the Grade 2 to Grade 6 range. It could also be used by those targeting the highest grades to build skills in Year 9. *Teach AQA GCSE English Literature and English Language as one coherent course, with Student Books structured by Assessment Objective to show the links between the two qualification. *Offer your students the right level of challenge. The Core Student Book introduces the fundamental concepts, terminology and skills required for both GCSEs, before showing students how to apply and combine them in context to English Language and English Literature tasks. The Advanced Student Book revisits the Assessment Objectives at a higher level to ensure your most able students reach their full potential. *Help all students make good progress. Each chapter moves from teaching the underlying skills and concepts to applying them in synoptic contexts, building writing stamina and independence. Regular 'Check your progress' features allow students to gauge their progress throughout the chapter, while end-of-chapter 'Apply your skills' tasks, supported by annotated responses and self-assessment guidance, will help students understand how to improve their work. *Dip in to support your own schemes of work. The clear navigation and chapter structure allows you to easily find skills-building lessons or sequences of lessons to guide your own teaching and planning. *Save time on updating your English Language resources with our comprehensive selection of passages from nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first-century literature and literary non-fiction, perfect for building students' confidence in tackling unseen texts. *Engage all learners with a rich and exciting approach to English Literature that takes students step-by-step through the fundamentals of how to analyse, interpret and write critically about literature.
Industry Reviews
I think teaching the skills for the two GCSEs together is effective as a lot of the same skills and ideas are addressed, with arbitrary distinctions drawn for the sake of exams. However, assessing the different strands separately is vital. The structure of this book will allow for that, as there are clearly labelled different tasks to practise Language and Literature.
