2021 The Student's Book is structured to build skills and knowledge
in a clear sequence, and to help students to apply their skills in
different combinations. With in-depth and up-to-date coverage of
the syllabus topics and a stimulating range of international texts,
this book is the ideal companion to the Cambridge International AS
and A Level course. Supports the transition from upper secondary:
Section A refreshes students' understanding of key concepts such as
audience, purpose and form, and of elements of language including
sentences and clauses. Builds writing and analysis skills for AS
and A Level: Section B introduces students to different modes of
analysis, including contextual, pragmatic, lexical, semantic,
grammatical and phonological approaches, and familiarises students
with the conventions of different writing forms and purposes.
Explores the syllabus topics in depth: Section C offers a dedicated
chapter on each language topic, exploring the relevant linguistic
theories and helping students to apply these ideas in their own
arguments and analysis of texts, transcripts and data. Helps
students apply their knowledge and skills to extended tasks:
Section D offers step-by-step support for responding to a range of
tasks with sample responses at different levels to help students
understand how to improve. Builds confidence for examinations with
complete exam-style practice papers in Section E. Encourages an
active approach to learning: throughout the book, a wealth of
activities ask students to discuss, analyse and apply the ideas
they are learning about, and to experiment with different
techniques in their own writing. A rich variety of texts from
around the world provide exciting models for students' writing,
engaging examples to analyse, and stimulus for debates about
language change, language acquisition, the relationship between
language and identity and the nature of Global English. Full
provision for all abilities: an accessible writing style,
step-by-step support and clear Key terms definitions build
confidence, while Taking it further activities offer additional
challenge. Supports teachers through the free, editable medium-term
plans available on Collins.co.uk. These clearly map content to the
syllabus and summarise what is covered in each unit of the book.
Answers to activities in the Student's Book are included to assist
those teaching English Language for the first time.

Excellent Value.
Well organised and easy to follow and use - great for AS and A Level student use, especially for
Home Educated private candidates who are studying for Cambridge at home.
