The "Living Language" series has been written to meet developments in the teaching of A Level English Language and Literature. It has been designed to fulfil assessment objectives specified for AS and A Level syllabuses for 1998 onwards. Essentially practical books, the "Living Language" series provides information, ideas and background theory which can be easily accessed through activities and investigations. This text should enable students to read and listen in a linguistically informed way, and to develop their own writing and speaking activities. This volume covers a comprehensive variety of non-literary texts in a way that should develop the student's analytical skills. Students are required to investigate different genres of text including: junk mail and other ephemera; journalism; magazines; speeches, monologues and narratives; biography, travelogue and letters; official texts (for example, government publications, public warnings and propaganda); advertising; and educational texts.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Plenty of activities. Sufficient detail. Right level. Recommended by chief examiners. -- Mr Wallace, Woodhouse Sixth Form College 19990623 Excellent. George Keith is very good in this regard, with books reflecting his courses and backed up by a writing team of practising teachers. -- Mr B Lead, St Wilfrid's C of E High School 19990624 ...well-written, well-organised, never remotely patronising. Any sane English department will have the original, the new eight (and accompanying tape) as soon as budgets permit...These are patient manuals and the authors have seleted genuinely interesting extracts to inform and illustrate their arguments. -- Times Educational Supplement ...these books would be an invaluable resource for any English Department teaching an 'A' Level sylalbus with language study in it. -- The Use of English
