This print and digital coursebook has been carefully developed through extensive research, including lesson observations, interviews, and collaboration with our research community (the Cambridge Panel), to address specific learning needs. Its activities and questions are designed to build students’ essential skills, with a strong emphasis on practical work. Support is provided for English as a second language learners through clear command terms, accessible language, and glossary definitions.

Exam-style questions help boost students’ confidence, while projects create opportunities for assessment for learning, cross-curricular connections, and the development of life skills. Throughout the coursebook, students engage in active learning through role-plays, discussions, and debates. Each chapter encourages reflection, helping students become responsible, independent learners who not only consider what they did well or not well, but also why and how they arrived at their answers—and how they might improve in the future.

Regular self-assessment and peer-assessment features allow students to evaluate their own work and that of their peers in relation to learning objectives, fostering collaboration and shared learning. Answers to all questions and exercises are available online at www.cambridge.org/go.
