'Throughout my young days at school and just afterwards a number of things happened to me that I have never forgotten'. "Boy" is a funny, insightful and at times grotesque glimpse into the early life of Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors. We discover his experiences of the English public school system, the idyllic paradise of summer holidays in Norway, the pleasures (and pains) of the sweetshop, and how it is that he avoided being a Boazer. This is the unadulterated childhood - sad and funny, macabre and delightful - that inspired our most-loved children's writer.

Q: Skills for Success is Oxford's first two-strand English course. The Reading and Writing and Listening and Speaking strands can be used separately or together to form a complete 200-hour programme at each level.

Q's question-centred approach provides a unique critical thinking framework for each unit. This develops key cognitive skills such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating - in addition to developing language skills that are essential for academic success.

Q puts more emphasis on student learning outcomes than any other paired skills English series. Learning outcomes are clearly labelled at the start of each unit and reviewed again at the end of the unit. This helps students to become more responsible learners.
