Teach AQA’s GCSEs in English Literature and English Language as one coherent course with Student Books that help students to build and apply the skills that underpin both qualifications.
- Offer your students the right level of challenge. The Advanced Student Book revisits the Assessment Objectives for English Language and English Literature from the Core Student Book at a more sophisticated level, offering extra challenge to more able students.
- Help all students make good progress. Each chapter follows the hierarchy of skills and knowledge in the mark schemes, so students have a clear sequence of learning. End-of-chapter ‘Apply your skills’ practice tasks, annotated answers and self-assessment guidance helps students understand how to improve their work.
- Get to grips with the new specifications with expert suggestions from leading professionals as to how you could plan and teach the course. Our practical, ready-made resources can be used in your first years of teaching the specifications, and edited and adapted to your requirements.
- Save time updating your English Language resources with our comprehensive selection of passages from nineteenth- to twenty-first century literature and literary nonfiction, perfect for building students’ confidence in tackling unseen texts.
