Language Toolkit 4: For the Australian Curriculum

The Language Toolkit 4 workbook provides middle secondary school students with the skills to explore the receptive and productive communication modes, enabling them to write, read, listen and speak across a range of contexts and for diverse audiences.

Each unit in the full-colour workbook is built around a different text type and supports learning across the language, literary and literature strands of the Australian Curriculum.

• Language skills are explored in context through a range of text types, including information, Shakespeare, literary, persuasive, visual, oral and multimodal texts.
• This new edition has been revised and updated to include details of curriculum content, new topics and activities, as well as a fresh, clean layout with more space for solutions.
• Activities address both receptive and productive language modes, with a focus on listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating.
• End of unit projects allow students to practise and further develop the skills they have explored so far.
