Tricolore, Book 1, 5th Edition

Product Information

Written by the well-trusted and highly experienced Tricolore team to give you materials that really work I remember my German O Level text book was titled "Sprich mal Deutsch". We used to infuriate our German teacher by translating this as "Speak bad German" (which in my case at least is what happened).

But Ros Sutherland, professor of education at Bristol University, argues this doesn't necessarily mean such internet resources will end the use of textbooks altogether. If you went to school in 1949, 1969 or 1989, the route to producing successful homework might be a battered encyclopedia, or a book owned by a parent, to supplement a textbook. But in 2009, Wikipedia and other internet sources have usurped the textbook for many children.Fully integrated Kerboodle contains a wide variety of resources and assessments (includes audio, interactive activities, assessment and exam preparation) Provides assessment and exam practice to ensure students are ready for the increased demands of the new linear course

Purging books of any trace of their previous owners served to make them feel like ours, and signified reaching a landmark in an educational journey.

Why use Kerboodle?

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to ditch "antiquated and heavy" textbooks in favour of approved online learning materials, arguing it will save money and help students keep pace with progress. A high ability course supporting all the new 2016 GCSE specifications, with specific specification support on Kerboodle for AQA, Edexcel, WJEC Eduqas and OCR, as well as the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus (R)

But Dr Aisha Walker, senior lecturer in ICT in education at Leeds University, argues the internet can be just as reliable a resource as books. E-resources are becoming increasingly associated with textbooks," he says. "But I personally don't think they will replace books because of the flexibility a textbook offers. I have often met adults in many different contexts who mention it - and we were surprised when it was even mentioned in a novel by Nigel Williams [They Came From SW19]," says Ms Mascie-Taylor. As a college ILT Champion (that's innovative learning technologies, by the way) I am always looking at different ways to make learning easier. The internet, e-books and interactive/animated displays are just tools towards that end, as are 'dead tree' books and the cardboard models of Roman houses I just sourced for the Archaeology course. No one way, no one thing, is best: the joy is in the wealth of resources available not in any single one of them! Delivers a blend of print and digital content, providing students with everything they'll need to manipulate language confidently

The internet will never replace the simple joy of reading a book. Do we really want children spending their whole lives gazing at a computer screen? I just worry that by taking away books, you take away a willingness to read outside of the classroom- why bother when Google has the answer? So many of us are introduced to a lifelong interest in literature in school, after all. The internet is more of a reference guide which doesn't give a deeper picture. I'm glad we used books in school- as a visually impaired student, I would have found the intense use of e-books very difficult indeed. At secondary school we had a German one which was yellow and had writing on the front - it was very forbidding. I also remember Cassell's Latin Primer." This new edition of the best-selling and trusted Tricolore 4, is a high ability course supporting all the new 2016 GCSE specifications. The course offers a blend of print and digital content, providing your students with everything they'll need to manipulate language confidently and prepare them thoroughly for their exams. But it's not just a question of efficient learning. As adults, people have nostalgia for the textbooks they grew up with.
