The Collins Cambridge Lower Secondary English series offers a skills-building approach to the Lower Secondary English curriculum framework (0861) from 2020. The Stage 8 Student's Book supports students to develop their skills in reading, writing and speaking and listening, showing all students how to progress. This series is endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education to support the new curriculum framework 0861 from 2020. Focused on improving skills - the book provides full coverage of the Stage 8 Cambridge Lower Secondary English curriculum framework, with clear outcomes in each chapter. Organised by purpose - each chapter shows students how to speak, write and comment on texts created for one key purpose or pair of purposes. A clear learning sequence builds from students exploring texts, through scaffolded writing and speaking and listening activities, towards a series of meaningful final tasks. Stage 8 covers describing, explaining, persuading and arguing, narrating, exploring and discussing, and commenting and comparing. The final chapter of the book allows students to test their understanding and apply the skills they have learned across Stage 8, by responding to reading and writing questions on two longer texts. Supports progression - clear models and examples are included throughout to show students how to improve, while self-assessment tasks at the end of each chapter help students to reflect on their progress. Rich, varied and engaging text extracts - fresh international fiction, poetry, drama and non-fiction texts represent the different forms and purposes required at each stage of the curriculum. Extracts of increasing length and challenge have been chosen to build students' reading stamina across the stage. The clear lesson-by-lesson approach allows teachers to easily use the resources in the classroom and build them into their own schemes of work. Prepares students for a seamless transition to Stage 9.

"Ethical English" addresses the 'ethos' of English teaching and draws attention to its 'spirit' and fundamental character, identifying the features that English teaching must exhibit if it is to continue to sustain us morally as a liberal art and to provide the learners of increasingly plural societies with a broad ethical education.

Pike provides practical examples from the classroom, including assessment and teaching, knitting these with an ethical critique of practice, stimulating readers to engage in critical reflection concerning the teaching of English. This book not only shows readers how to teach English but also helps them to critically evaluate the ethics of the practice of English teaching.

Comprising six pupil books and six accompanying teacher's guides, one for each primary school year, Schofield & Sims Grammar and Punctuation is a comprehensive programme for teaching grammar and punctuation while also building on vocabulary, reading and writing skills. Through structured lessons, stimulating focus texts and engaging practice activities, children not only learn the correct terminology and usage of grammar and punctuation, but also build up the skills, knowledge and confidence to apply them successfully in their own writing. The Grammar 1 pupil book contains 15 double-page lessons and covers the National Curriculum requirements for Year 1. Featured topics include words and sentences; capital letters; full stops; spacing; the joining word 'and'; question marks; exclamation marks; singular and plural; describing words; linking words; verb endings; and the prefix 'un-'. Each pupil book practice page includes a concise summary of the key learning point for each lesson, followed by two short 'Try it' exercises and a 'Sentence practice' activity. Regular 'Revision' pages reinforce learning, while imaginative 'Writing tasks' allow children to 'show off' their grammar and punctuation skills in a more formal context. Additional features provided at the back of the book include a glossary to support the confident use of grammatical terminology and a self-evaluation checklist to strengthen understanding and encourage pupils to assess their own learning. A separate accompanying teacher's guide, Grammar 1 Teacher's Guide (ISBN 9780721713915), contains lesson plans, answers to all the questions in the pupil book, and assessment and record-keeping resources.

This book draws on both in and out of school literacy practices with teachers and families to enhance the numeracy of early learners. It provides highly illustrative exemplars, targeted for learners up to approximately eight years of age whose home language differs from the language of instruction. It identifies the challenges faced by these learners and their families, and shares ways of building both literacy and numeracy skills for some of the vulnerable learners nationally and internationally. The book shares the outcomes and strategies for teaching mathematics to early years learners and highlights the importance of literacy practices for learners for whom the language of instruction is different from their home language. Readers will gain a practical sense of how to create contexts, classrooms and practices to scaffold these learners to build robust understandings of mathematics.
