Be guided through each area of the course. All the mandatory knowledge, skills and specification points are structured into a logical sequence for students and teachers

Learn through practice. Enjoy an active approach to theory, applying and developing your knowledge through lots of dynamic and varied tasks, rather than lots of reading

The book concludes with a special chapter for teachers, which provides ideas for fun, interactive teaching strategies that are based on the latest pedagogical research into retrieval practice, cooperative learning and active learning.
