The Student''s Book provides a practical structure for teaching the course, with easy-to-navigate, well signposted sections, chapters and units. The chapter structure highlights the skills that need to be developed and shows how build them in manageable steps before helping students to apply them to different tasks. Provides equal support for developing essay writing and comprehension, through the clearly delineated chapter structure and the exemplification of both sets of skills. Contains regular annotated examples of successful writing and analysis, with peer-assessment activities to support students in evaluating and editing their own responses.
