Focus on English 10 Student Book

Motivate your students to engage with the world of texts and develop their skills as effective communicators with the Focus on English series.

These brand new workbooks cover essential English skills through a carefully sequenced program that enables students to develop and reinforce their literature, language and literacy skills. Based around high-interest topics and relevant literature, the units will inspire discussion and provide meaningful contexts for language and literacy learning.

Each unit focuses on a specific text type, literary technique, writing skill, genre or theme that is relevant to any English program.

The books are organised into the umbrella strands of Literature, Language and Literacy for the Australian Curriculum, providing a consistent, easy-to-navigate structure.

Each unit contains:

• an overview of skills or key terms related to the unit
• a diverse selection of literary, non-literary and multimodal texts for comprehensions and analysis.
• comprehensive coverage of the rules and conventions of grammar and punctuation
• carefully sequenced sets of language, punctuation and vocabulary exercises
• a creative writing task in every unit
• a highly visual and student-friendly approach that encourages interest and engagement
