There are two Student Books, one for International AS level and one for International A Level, which provide full coverage of the specification content. Learning objectives set expectations at the beginning of each chapter, with 'Getting started' features to activate prior knowledge. The clear layout includes a range of text extracts to engage students and diagrams to explain new concepts. Definitions of key terms are provided throughout, with a glossary at the back of each book. Varied activities embed understanding, while 'Thinking Like a Linguist' boxes explore aspects of the English language in more detail. Checkpoint questions facilitate revision at the end of each chapter, and regular exam preparation sections gradually develop exam technique.
