This resource teaches a specific exam skill: turning an issue raised by a source text into a developed, supported and critically considered argument for Cambridge International A Level English Language 9093, Paper 4: English in the World. Students may recall theorists confidently but struggle to explain how their ideas illuminate a particular source. This pack makes that connection explicit. Colour-coded claims, a structured planning grid and a completed model guide students through selecting precise evidence, applying a relevant concept, explaining its significance and qualifying their argument before returning to the question. The Theory Top Trumps provide an accessible starting point for recalling and comparing concepts. Students choose theories according to their relevance to the evidence; the ratings offer a discussion prompt rather than a formula for deciding which theorist to use. The completed grid supports teacher modelling and discussion, while the blank version allows students to practise the process themselves. Particular attention is given to meaningful qualification: considering where an explanation is useful, where its application is limited and what else needs to be taken into account. The aim is to build independence. As students become more confident, the scaffold can be gradually removed and the approach transferred to unfamiliar sources. The emphasis throughout is on purposeful theory selection, precise source connections and a clear argument that answers the question.
