How to use this Teacher’s Resource

This Teacher’s Resource contains both general guidance and teaching notes that help you to deliver the content in our Cambridge resources.

There are teaching notes for each unit of the Coursebook. Each set of teaching notes contains the following features to help you deliver the chapter.

At the start of each chapter there is a teaching plan (Figure 1). This summarises the topics covered in the chapter, including the number of learning hours recommended for each topic, an outline of the learning content, and the Cambridge resources from this series that can be used to deliver the topic.
