Product description

Review

`Students would like it. It looks serious and adult-like without being dull. The sample answers, rationales, examiner comments, oral activities and marking criteria would be very useful to my students. So many aspects of the written tasks or the orals or the exam papers that students have concerns about are dealt with clearly and helpfully.' Head of English, Turkey `I think it is a very good book and will be of great help to my students. We are looking to 'adopt' it.' Miriam de la Teja, IB Coordinator, Colegio Williams de Cuernavaca, Mexico `It is a good guidance for both teachers and students, especially for language which is a vast subject to be covered.' IB Coordinator, Greece `The Oxford course books are the best ever resource for both teachers and students. They are practical, insightful and fully in line with the IB Course outcomes.' Pat Hanson, IB Coordinator, Academy of the Holy Cross, USA `All of the Oxford IB course books are terrific.' Carolyn Hawkins, IB Coordinator, Cookeville High School, USA `We have adopted most of the Oxford IB course books for our school. We find them well written, well linked to TOK issues and age-appropriate.' Sheta Saha, IB Coordinator, Chatsworth International School, Singapore `Your IB books are totally addictive. Thank you for developing such fantastic material. ' Maggie Prieto, Head of Languages, Bachillerato Alexander Bain, Mexico

Great resource for anyone planning and/or implementing the Language and Literature course. The materials can be tweaked to take care of particular needs of the group. I would recommend this both for students and teachers.
