This coursebook is the only resource endorsed by Cambridge International Examinations for Cambridge International AS and A Level Global Perspectives and Research (9239), for first examination from 2016. The coursebook helps students and teachers understand the learning process of the Critical Path and navigate their way through each step via exploration of international topics, such as climate change, the impact of the internet and gender issues. This helps develop learners’ ability to think critically and consider alternative viewpoints in preparation for further study and future employment. With exam-style questions and opportunities for group discussion and personal reflection, the coursebook provides structure through a skills-based syllabus and helps learners build important life skills. Suggested answers to the coursebook questions are on the upcoming teacher’s resource CD-ROM.
