Language A: Concept-Based Learning by Kathleen Clare Waller serves not only as a practical guide to the IB English A course and conceptual learning but also as a source of ideas for professional development as well. Its manageable size at 214 pages long means it is not too daunting to read cover to cover unlike many English A books.One of the book's standout features is its integration of theory and practice which can help teachers navigate the English A curriculum. The inclusion of activities tailored to the course ensures that teachers can turn theoretical concepts and critical theory into engaging classroom experiences. I finished the book with plenty of notes and ideas to try out in my lessons that can potentially support my students in developing their writing and speaking skills for the assessments.Waller is also interested in fostering real-world skills in students, particularly in the final chapter. Teachers will find plenty of ideas and activities that not only enrich the curriculum but also prepare students for challenges beyond the classroom.Despite having taught English A for several years I am freshly inspired to try out new ways of delivering my lessons and I feel more confident about the conceptual elements of the course as well. An engaging 'must read' for all Language A teachers!
