A World of difference Teacher´s book

This teacher’s book accompanies a student reader titled A World of Difference (short stories by British and American writers) and is designed to support English language instruction for secondary school learners. Within the “Interact with Literature” series, this guide provides teachers with structured lesson plans, teaching suggestions, and support materials to help learners engage with selected literary short stories. The approach emphasises interaction, discussion, and the exploration of cultural and linguistic difference — hence the title, A World of Difference. Teachers are supported in guiding students to read, interpret, compare, and respond to English-language texts that illustrate diverse viewpoints and literary styles.

Key features include:

Ready-to-use unit plans for each short story: objectives, language focus, comprehension and discussion questions.

Activities that promote critical thinking and discuss cultural, social or linguistic contrasts.

Guidance for integrating the reader’s texts into language-learning lessons rather than treating them purely as reading exercises.

Designed for upper secondary or advanced lower-secondary learners of English who are ready to move beyond basic language work into literary engagement.
