Curriculum Now!

Curriculum Now! is packed full of ideas for bringing language learning to life in key stage 3, inspired by the new secondary curriculum and based on Rachel's work in her school.

Here is what some teachers have said about the book:
"I am just in awe of the energy and ideas that have gone into this. Linking it with the website, as well as allowing it to be an organic idea, is just a stroke of genius, and one which will be welcomed with open arms throughout the language teaching community. Well done to all concerned and very many thanks. One of my best buys!"
"I have just received my copy of the excellent Curriculum Now and have accessed the accompanying resources. Thank you so much for providing such fantastic resources which can be used immediately."
"The ideas are great... I have been able to access the resources - great - well worth the price of the book - I am currently translating some of the Spanish ones into French for my classes!"
