  Covering the skills and knowledge required by A Level English Language syllabuses, this is an essentially practical text. It provides information, ideas and background theory which students should be able to access effectively and enjoy via activities and investigations. This text aims to enable students to read and listen in a linguistically informed manner, and to develop their own writing and speaking abilities. With emphasis on the student's own experience of language, the many group and individual activities lift the theory from the page and stimulate integrated productive and analytical work. The activities suggest ways of applying linguistic knowledge to texts and data, and are designed to prepare students for examination papers and to generate quality course work. Both literary and non-literary texts are featured.
