Review
A different kind of resource in being specifically English skills based. Useful book for students who are unsure, inexperienced or worried about understanding the correct terminology in the subject area. How refreshing! --Senior Lecturer, University of Teesside

I think the layout is very easy to read and the way in which the marking is done at the end of this book is very precise, enabling trainees to see exactly which element of their subject knowledge needs to be developed. --Lecturer, University of Wolverhampton

Very useful revision guide for ITT students. --Lecturer, University of Hull
