Cambridge IGCSE First Language English 5th Edition

This Cambridge IGCSE First Language English series written by experienced examiner Marian Cox, has been updated in line with the revised syllabus. It provides improved navigation across all three components and a choice of pathways which enable teachers and learners to tailor the course according to their particular needs

This Teacher's Resource with 24 pre-planned lessons, worksheets and answer keys, this print and digital bundle helps save you time and effort when teaching the course. In addition, the inclusion of reports, journals, speeches and interviews gives a range of text types in line with the revised syllabus. The six sections help develop reading and writing skills, such as narrative composition, directed writing and responding to reading. This resource contains the answers to the coursebook questions and from August 2018 comes with 12 progress checks you can download and print to use with your class.

Features

• The teacher’s resource is not mapped to the coursebook or language and skills practice book. This means teachers can supplement their lessons with the books, regardless of what other materials they are using.
• Go directly to the resource index to download every file you need to deliver a specific unit or lesson, so you don’t have to rely on your internet connection.
• Contains 24 units, each providing tasks for one double lesson of 90 minutes plus homework and optional additional tasks.
• At the start of each unit, a skills and outcomes grid indicates the focus and resources required.
• Lesson plans include advice on how tasks should be completed (as an individual, paired, small group or whole class), the form of the feedback (spoken or written, volunteered or requested) and how it should be assessed (self, peer, class or teacher).
• Text types include reports, journals, speeches and interviews in line with the revised syllabus.
• Photocopiable pages for easy lesson preparation.
• Cambridge Elevate is simple to navigate and personalise - highlight text, annotate, create voice notes, or organise your table of contents.
• This combined print and digital resource gives you the opportunity to teach how you want, whether using the book or your online app.
