Real Reads Student Book 2nd Edition

Real Reads offers a friendly and accessible introduction to English literature. Aimed primarily at university undergraduates, the book is also ideal reading and study material for high school and mature students. The authentic, unedited texts include fables, poems, and short stories by such well-known authors as Oscar Wilde, WH Auden, Robert Frost, John Steinbeck, and DH Lawrence, among others. Real Reads is arranged thematically, with the clear goal of appealing to all.

Each text is prefaced by a Before Reading section, to connect the themes with students’ own lives and help with any difficult language. A summary of the text is also provided, plus an author biography. In After Reading, students are invited to form their own opinions of the texts and share these with peers. Pair work and discussion tasks are integral to Real Reads – it is not just “reading!”

Considerable support is provided to allow weaker students get the most from the book. Exercises aid comprehension, plus a full bilingual glossary is provided. Each of the twelve chapters contains a Literary Point plus a Learning About Literature section, in which key literary concepts and terminology are explained.

A free online Teacher's Guide is available including explanations of how to use this textbook, answers to all the exercises, a sample syllabus, supplementary information and photocopiable test materials. The website also contains free audio downloads of all the texts being read aloud.
