Welcome to Cambridge Checkpoint English Stage 7.The Cambridge Checkpoint English course covers the
Cambridge Secondary 1 English framework and is divided into three stages: 7, 8 and 9.
This Workbook has 12 units which offer support in the skills covered in the corresponding units of the Stage 7 Coursebook. The topics in the Workbook are linked to the topics in the Coursebook.
There are two more workbooks in the series to cover stages 8 and 9, and these provide practice for progressive skills to match the skills covered in the corresponding couresebooks.
The Workbook exercises give extra practice in specifi c areas for students working alone or for students who need to develop a particular and relevant language skill or task approach.
The rules and key points introduced in the Coursebook are reinforced in the corresponding units of the Workbook, to make sure they have been fully understood and applied before students progress to the next unit.
The Workbook can be used as a differentiation resource for classroom work and for setting homework. The responses can be written in the spaces beneath the exercises. The introduction to each unit indicates the types of exercise it includes.
The answers to the Workbook exercises are on the Teacher Resource CD, which contains further relevant tasks, worksheets and handouts to support each of the Coursebook and Workbook units.
