• Focus groups were run nationally with teachers at government, independent and Catholic schools to understand the core needs of Australian English classrooms.
• All material has been tested live in classrooms.
• Our Indigenous content has been reviewed for its validity and significance.
• All texts have been independently audited by practising teachers. This review ensured that the final content is uniformly excellent and matches the Australian Curriculum.

A focus on text, with 380+ texts throughout the series.

Pearson English features an amazing range of texts covering traditional and non-traditional options.

It features fiction and nonfiction texts, newspapers, letters, graphic novels, animation, manga, anime, poetry, short stories and plays, to name a few.

We've also developed unique Indigenous and Asia-Pacific literature. But it doesn't stop there.

Where a traditional textbook is centred around the chapter, Pearson English is designed for teachers to pick which text to utilise and the learning options, questions and skills are linked directly with the text for maximum flexibility with teaching.
