Lesson starters or introductory activities for an A level course - both are appropriate and implied in this extremely useful book. It provides ideas for short exercises designed to equip students with the vocabulary needed to articulate both a linguistic and literary analysis of texts. It will support study for AS Level English Language, or English Language and Literature. The book is split into four units dealing with:

1) lexis/semantics
2) phonology
3) grammar/syntax
4) graphology/typography

Every unit focuses on eight key concepts, each with three dedicated ?starter? activities.

The activities were developed, tried and tested in the classroom. They form an extremely efficient collection of the right kind of quick, interactive (and fun) exercises you need to introduce or reinforce many important constructs, words and phrases.
