This text provides an assisted-learning programme which puts the onus on the student to complete the year's course, allowing the teacher to focus on the classroom rather than the collection and preparation of resources. The teacher can direct the topics but the student is expected to contribute.

This CD is designed to enhance the Achievement English Year 11. It contains Exam and Answers.

Achievement English Jenny Thomas & Diane White The Achievement English workbooks are written to support 'The Close Reading of Language & Literature'. These invaluable resources assist students to develop and practise their skills in understanding and analysing the wealth of written, oral and visual text that surrounds them. The workbooks are presented in a write-on resource format so that students can add their own notes.

This book is designed to build on and extend all the things the students have learnt in previous years.
