The Collins Cambridge Lower Secondary English series is an innovative approach to the Lower Secondary English curriculum framework (0861) from 2020. Designed to enhance students' skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening, this series is endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education.

Focusing on improving skills, the book offers comprehensive coverage of the Stage 9 Cambridge Lower Secondary English curriculum framework, with clear outcomes in each chapter. Organized by purpose, each chapter guides students through the process of speaking, writing, and commenting on texts designed for specific purposes or pairs of purposes. A clear learning sequence is built, allowing students to explore texts, engage in scaffolded writing and speaking and listening activities, and culminate in meaningful final tasks.

Stage 9 covers a range of topics, including describing, entertaining, arguing, narrating, analyzing, and comparing, as well as interpreting. The final chapter of the book provides students with an opportunity to test their understanding and apply the skills they have learned throughout Stage 9. By responding to reading and writing questions on two longer texts, students can demonstrate their comprehension and mastery of the subject matter.

To support progression, the series includes clear models and examples that demonstrate how students can improve their writing and speaking skills. Self-assessment tasks at the end of each chapter allow students to reflect on their progress and identify areas for further development. Additionally, rich, varied, and engaging text extracts from international fiction, poetry, drama, and non-fiction texts are included to represent the different forms and purposes required at each stage of the curriculum. Extracts of increasing length and challenge have been chosen to build students' reading stamina and encourage a deeper understanding of the text.

The clear lesson-by-lesson approach makes it easy for teachers to plan and deliver lessons, ensuring that students are fully supported in their learning journey. The Collins Cambridge Lower Secondary English series is an invaluable resource for teachers and students alike, helping them to achieve success in their academic endeavors.
