The Cambridge Lower Secondary Complete English 9 Student Book embeds a solid foundation at Lower Secondary level and helps students reach their full potential, as well as preparing them to progress seamlessly to IGCSE ® English. This resource fully covers the Cambridge Lower Secondary English 9 curriculum to ensure students learn everything that is required at that level. However, materials and exercises also prepare students for a smooth transition to IGCSE English by supporting the development of required skills. It is written by a team of internationally experienced authors, many of whom co-authored our previous best-selling first edition. They are all experts in teaching, learning and assessment. The team includes Jane Arredondo, the author of our IGCSE First Language English Student Book and Mark Pedroz, author of our IGCSE Literature in English Student Book, who use their IGCSE expertise to ensure students are well prepared for the next step in their education. The Student Book is supported by a Workbook that provides opportunities for independent practice inside and outside the classroom, and a Teacher Handbook, which offers full teaching support.
