Inhaltsangabe

Written by the authors of the 2011 syllabus, this book will help address all the requirements of the new course at both standard and higher level. It will actively engage students in language and literature, allowing them to become informed and critical learners through understanding and producing language of a wide range of works, from poetry to political speeches to simple advertisements or graffiti. The range of exciting literature offers a fresh look at unfamiliar texts so that students are able to confidently encounter works and topics and develop and communicate understanding. Through interesting activities and model works, students will learn about the most current approaches to critical language in areas such as mass communications, language in cultural contexts and literature - in line with the new syllabus. Support is given for the assessment, including the oral commentary.

The most comprehensive and accurate match to the 2011 syllabus, developed with the IB and written by IB workshop leaders and authors of the syllabus
Fully captures the IB spirit, thoroughly incorporating fresh and topical TOK to drive independent thought

Packed with accurate assessment support, directly from the IB, including model answers, assessments advice and more, completely aligned to the new assessment

About the series:

Críticas

Students would like it. It looks serious and adult-like without being dull. The sample answers, rationales, examiner comments, oral activities and marking criteria would be very useful to my students. So many aspects of the written tasks or the orals or the exam papers that students have concerns about are dealt with clearly and helpfully. (Head of English, Turkey)
