Developed by experienced Chinese First Language educators, this Student Book equips learners with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to succeed in the OxfordAQA International GCSE Chinese First Language qualification. The course takes a skills-based approach to language learning, helping students develop reading, writing and critical thinking skills through a variety of relevant texts. Structured to support progression throughout the course, the book provides clear explanations, guided practice and regular opportunities for independent learning. Students are encouraged to engage critically with different text types, analyse authors' viewpoints and refine their own written communication for a range of audiences and purposes. To support flexible learning, the Student Book is also available digitally on Kerboodle, Oxford's online learning platform. Providing access to the full Student Book online, Kerboodle enables students and teachers to use the course materials anytime, anywhere, making it easier to learn in the classroom, at home or on the move.
