Reviews
A major strength of the textbook is its approach to developing key skills; this will be essential with the linear nature of the course both linguistically and also more generally. Another strength of the material covered in the book is its clear cultural focus, which is up-to-date and engaging. Having some ready to use cultural resources will prove invaluable in the first phase of the new specification. -- Mary Heath, Language Teacher, Woodford County High School for Girls
I really like the textbook as it provides Year 12 with just the right amount of challenge, it's clearly set out and easy to navigate. -- Liz Thomas, Head of French, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Maesygwendraeth
A well-structured book that explores a topic using the four skills. The materials are interesting and relevant. -- Gavin Parry
