The Student’s Book introduces the key concepts and skills in the Cambridge International syllabus, with a focus on developing effective writing from the start, to give students a toolkit for responding to unseen texts and exploring the set texts in depth.
• Develops effective writing throughout with dedicated activities and exemplar student writing to model different ways of responding to texts.• Structured to help students make progress: each unit offers a clear, step-by-step learning sequence, moving from exploration to supported analysis to independent writing, and building towards examination-style tasks at the end of each chapter.• Supports and challenges all learners. The first chapter of the book introduces the fundamental skills and concepts for the course, building learners’ confidence and supporting the transition from upper secondary. The second part of the book shows students how to apply these skills to write about the three major forms (poetry, prose and drama) and to respond to unseen texts. Thinking more deeply sections revisit ideas at a higher level to challenge the most able students.• Provides an anthology of international texts: fresh texts from a variety of periods and cultures have been chosen to allow students to explore different writers’ choices and their effects.• Practical for the classroom: the book will be clearly organised into practical sequences of learning that can be used as lessons or series of lessons. The focus on activity and modelling offers an accessible format for classroom teaching.• Supports teachers’ planning. The free online teacher resource available on Collins.co.uk provides editable medium-term plans summarising the coverage of each chapter.

The Collins Cambridge Lower Secondary English series offers a skills-building approach to the Lower Secondary English curriculum framework (0861) from 2020. The Stage 7 Student’s Book supports students to develop their skills in reading, writing and speaking and listening, showing all students how to progress. 
This title has been endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education to provide support as part of a set of resources for the Cambridge Lower Secondary English curriculum framework from 2020. Focused on improving skills – the book provides full coverage of the Stage 7 Cambridge Lower Secondary English curriculum framework, with clear outcomes in each chapter. Organised by text purpose – each chapter shows students how to speak, write and comment on texts created for one key purpose or pair of purposes. A clear learning sequence builds from students exploring texts, through scaffolded writing and speaking and listening activities, towards a series of meaningful final tasks. Stage 7 introduces describing, informing, persuading and advising, narrating, reviewing and discussing, and exploring and commenting. The final chapter of the book allows students to test their understanding and apply the skills they have learned across Stage 7, by responding to reading and writing questions on two longer texts. Supports progression – clear models and examples are included throughout to show students how to improve, while self-assessment tasks at the end of each chapter help students to reflect on their progress. Rich, varied and engaging text extracts – fresh international fiction, poetry, drama and non-fiction texts represent the different forms and purposes required at each stage of the curriculum. Extracts of increasing length and challenge have been chosen to build students’ reading stamina across the stage. The clear lesson-by-lesson approach allows teachers to easily use the resources in the classroom and build them into their own schemes of work. Prepares students for a seamless transition to Stage 8.
