Teaching resource exemplars
The scheme of work contains suggestions for resources or textbooks that you can use to support your teaching. These are suggestions only of material you may find useful and you are encouraged to use a wide range of resources that suit the needs of your students.
Other Edexcel teaching resources

• a Student book — a full colour textbook
• a Teacher’s Guide – with detailed teaching notes that support the Student Book
• an Audio CD Pack – which contains audio for the listening exercises in the Student Book
• an Assessment Pack – reading and listening tests in the style of the examination and writing and speaking controlled assessment tasks for you to use or adapt, along with a clear marking scheme.
These resources have been written by a team of authors from the SSAT (Specialist Schools and Academies Trust) Confucius Institute. You’ll find details of all of these at gcse2009 — please look under Chinese/resources.
