SKILLS

11–14

A creative, jam-packed resource…useful and lively stuff…Its emphasis on the assessment focuses and on speciﬁc skills/key processes, and its well thought out activities, will really support departments as they ﬁnd their way through the revised PoS.

Helen Lapping, Secondary English Consultant for Blackpool

We’ve bought Essential Skills because it looks clear and straightforward. It is also well supported with the CD material. One thing very strongly in its favour is that it is not too “busy” on the page.

Ms Theobald, Head of English, Slough Grammar School

OxBox software is . . . very ﬂexible, easy to use and time-saving.

WJEC GCSE English Evaluation Pack

978 019 832943 5 £15.00 Summer 2010 The Evaluation Pack contains the Student Book, sample teaching and practice materials and a demo CD-ROM.

Evaluation

Roger Lane is a senior examiner and moderator, an education consultant

in South Wales and a Cardiff City FC season ticket holder (and thus an eternal optimist!). Before being an examiner, he was a Head of English for fourteen years, but admits to preferring examining because he is able to meet the students without them answering back.

Roger’s ﬁrst series of endorsed textbooks, teachers’ resources and revision guides was published in 2003, and has become a trusted core resource for most WJEC centres. Now, with fresh material and exciting new software, he looks forward to bringing you the next generation of resources, and to meeting many of you at coming INSETs and training events.
