Pearson English has been built from the ground up to answer that question, using the people who would know best. We sourced teachers as authors, ran focus groups with teachers from government, independent and Catholic schools and tested all material in Australian classrooms. The result is the most comprehensive English series, written, reviewed and tested by English teachers. All texts have been independently audited by practising teachers in over 90 hours of revisions and improvements, ensuring that the final content is uniformly excellent and matches the content and assessment requirements of the Australian Curriculum, and our thorough trials mean that you can be sure the texts, tasks and activities are classroom ready. There is an amazing range of texts (over 380 texts) covering traditional and non-traditional options, including fiction and non-fiction, newspapers, letters, graphic novels, animations, manga, poetry, short stories and plays which also include unique Indigenous and Asia-Pacific literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53558804873489,"sku":"9781488610400","price":24.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/7786\/8817\/files\/9781488610400.jpg?v=1778751799","url":"https:\/\/www.teachersuperstore.com.au\/products\/pearson-english-8-second-edition-activity-book-2e","provider":"Teacher Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
