Welcome to our November Newsletter!
Unlock art-focused academic English with our Vocabulary in Art Workbook, designed for international students in English-medium colleges and universities and suitable for class use or independent study (no prior art history required). Ten scaffolded units (60–90 minutes each) move from clear definitions to practice and discussion, covering a range of topics and concepts, with a teacher’s answer key, sample discussion prompts, and a quiz. Learners build precise, transferable vocabulary to describe, discuss, and analyse artworks fluently, strengthening both spoken and written performance across university tasks.

As a special highlight, we’ve included a free sample so you can experience the range of activities and see the value this workbook brings to learning.
