With international cross-curricular topics, from celebrations around the world and sports to news and what we wear, the series helps you develop the skills to study across the curriculum in English. Packed with literature and oracy activities, the course helps you become confident communicators. Step-by-step writing activities with models support you to develop your writing, while tip boxes help with language and skills. Each unit ends with a ‘Project Challenge’ where you will work together on cross-curricular projects like giving a presentation about the history of sport, developing collaboration and critical thinking skills.
