Endorsed for the Edexcel A-level specification from 2016, this single textbook develops all four language skills with clear progression from GCSE and throughout the new A level. It offers clear progression through four stages of learning: transition, AS, A-level, and extension. The book develops language skills through reading, listening, speaking, and writing tasks, plus translation and research practice. It exposes students to authentic topical stimulus and film and literature tasters for every work, equips them with the tools they need to succeed through learning strategies throughout, and prepares them for assessment with advice on the new individual research project and essay-writing. Grammar skills are built with exercises throughout and a detailed grammar reference section.
