English Language Paper One: A Technique Guide for GCSE (9-1) (Accolade GCSE Guides)

Nice book

Good

My daughter has been using these guides to help her with her GCSE English and she finds them really useful.

Wanted to give it a while so my son could try this out and do his exams, we've had it for a number of months! He's found it brilliant, really added to what he learnt in school. While we emphasis school work in our family English is the one topic I can't help with and I'm pleased to say he came first in his class with a grade 9. He said it helped a lot, made things clear so he knew how to answer the questions. I shall be buying every other book for him - we are so pleased with it.

I have taught English Language GCSE for 9 years and this is an excellent guide for any student looking to achieve higher grades. The exemplar material is grade 9 standard, but it should be accessible to understand for anyone aiming for a grade 6 or above.What sets this book apart from other revision guides is there is no 'waffle' - after a clear introduction, the book jumps straight into a sample paper and exemplar responses. Each response is annotated in an accessible way. I often find annotated examples overwhelming with the number of different colours/boxes/codes, but here there are simple numbered annotations explaining in first person what choices the writer has made.A student who is self-motivated to try these questions for themselves, study the example responses, then try again, would make rapid progress on this paper and could go into an exam feeling confident.I was given a digital copy of this book for review.

The content and range of examples is very good. Nicely accessible, relevant and clear. A very useful guide for students wanting to understand how and where marks can be picked up in the AQA English Language Paper 1 exam.

This is a really useful resource. It supports the teaching of GCSE English (AQA)paper 1 and saved me hours of planning as there was so much I could use from here.I would recommend this to others.

If I knew what the answers were, I wouldn't need the book...
