Collins Cambridge IGCSE English (as an Additional Language) Student Book provides comprehensive coverage of the Cambridge IGCSE English (as an Additional Language) syllabus (0472) for examination from 2023.
Clear, colourful layout Topic-based units so that language is learnt in context Carefully-structured exercises to ensure progression through the course Grammar and vocabulary boxes offering quick reference Plenty of opportunities for recap and revision ‘Our world’ units with longer reading texts to challenge and inspire students
With a clear structure and engaging content, the Student’s Book has been carefully planned around topic-based units so that language learning and skills development can be taught in real-world contexts.
All four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) are fully covered in a skills-based communicative approach. The course caters for students with little formal experience of English and who want to develop practical language skills and to build their confidence. The layout of the book is clear and accessible, with boxed features highlighting key points of grammar, vocabulary or suggestions for taking things further. A checklist towards the end of the unit encourages students to reflect on their progress and is followed by a useful vocabulary section for ease of reference. Revision units, which appear after every two units give the opportunity to revise language through further activities. Opportunity for practice, consolidation and revision is provided throughout the course, with exam-style questions to help students develop their skills for success.
Audio files are available as a free download from the Collins website for listening comprehension exercises and development of oral fluency. This resource supports the Cambridge IGCSE English (as an Additional Language) syllabus (0472). We are working towards endorsement of this resource by Cambridge Assessment International Education to support the full syllabus for examination from 2023.
