These new resources have been written for the new 9-1 grading scale, with progression, international relevance and support at their core. The new 9-1 grading scale ensures a consistent international standard of qualification. The increase in levels of grading allows learners to achieve their full potential and make more informed decisions about their options for progression. A fully integrated Progression Map tool allows quick and easy formative assessment of student progress, linked to guidance on tailored learning solutions, helping students make the best progress they can. The embedded transferrable skills that are needed for progression into higher education and employment, are explicitly signposted allowing students to understand, and engage with, the skills they're gaining. Online teacher support will save you valuable time when planning, teaching and assessing. Each Student Book provides access to an ActiveBook, a digital version of the Student's Book, which can be accessed online, anytime, anywhere supporting learning beyond the classroom. Specifically developed for International learners, with appropriate international content, making it engaging and relevant for all learners and allowing for learning in a local context, to a global standard. EAL-focused content, checked by an EAL specialist, addresses the needs of EAL students with carefully graded writing to B2/C1 level (CEFR) and a glossary provided of specialist vocabulary.
