Coursebook 9 includes eighteen thematic units based on the Cambridge International Examinations Scheme of Work for Stage 9. It lays the foundation for learners who may go on to the Cambridge IGCSE ESL qualification. The topics and situations in Cambridge Global English reflect international diversity and encourage learning about different ways of life. It presents realistic listening, speaking, reading, and writing tasks, as well as end-of-unit projects similar to those students might encounter in a first-language English context. After every other unit, there is a literature spread featuring authentic prose and poetry from a variety of sources. CEFR Level: B1+
