The English Circle Workbook - 8

The English Circle is a set of 10 coursebooks (A, B, 1 to 8) and 8 corresponding workbooks (1 to 8) that combines the best of traditional methods with the most appropriate pedagogy to help students use English both accurately and fluently. Based on the new curriculum of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE), released in November 2016, the series is uniformly based on multiple themes. The focus of The English Circle is to sharpen the four basic language skills—Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing—through passages, poems, plays as well as tasks integrated in an exciting and a familiar context for today’s learners.
