Beyond Words Transition Year English

TY English 'Beyond Words' is a new twenty-twenties multimodal textbook crafted to place TY learners at the centre of their learning journey.

9 colourful, engaging, student-friendly and highly visual units capture TY's student voice as we progress through adaptable units, which can be built around your school's TY programme calendar.

The fresh, topical content instils diversity, equality & inclusion, and representation across a broad collection of national texts and global literature, from accessible classics to current bestsellers.

Each themed unit targets written, digital literacy, and life skills via exploratory learning team projects and self-directed learning activities to strengthen key skills such as working with others, critical & creative thinking, and personal reflection.

The Drama Studies, Film, and Media units will upskill learners for dynamic TY roles in the school community and beyond.

In preparation for the Leaving Certificate English course, we've woven in tasters of Senior Cycle English Paper 1 and Paper II topics such as Comparative Studies and Composing too.

Working hard to deepen a sense of social awareness and social justice, 'Beyond Words' is thoughtfully shaped for a Gen Z audience.
