Language excellence through literature in Swiss classrooms
Through the Swiss Exams, Hull’s School and the Aldous Huxley Centre initiative on language proficiency and literary integration, teachers can now rethink how they prepare students for advanced exams — not by drilling grammar alone but by immersing learners in high-quality texts that stimulate both thought and language growth.
This approach to integrating literature in language teaching helps bridge the gap between cultural depth and communicative competence — an ideal pathway to Cambridge C2 success.
What better way to bring this philosophy to life than through the works of Aldous Huxley?
His writing invites discussion, analysis, and reflection — exactly the kind of intellectual engagement that builds advanced language proficiency. To support teachers, we created a book bundle that combines context, content, and classroom value in one package.
A tale of two books: Huxley bundle is more than a deal
We are proud to present our new Huxley bundle, combining two powerful works:
- Aldous Huxley for Beginners
- Brave New World
Together, they form the perfect combination for teaching literature in English classes and for preparing students for Cambridge English exams — particularly the C2 Proficiency level.
Aldous Huxley For Beginners
A lean, engaging guide to Aldous Huxley’s life, ideas, and influence.
With rare photographs, memorabilia, and unpublished letters curated from the Aldous Huxley Centre in Zürich, this book demystifies the author and provides rich contextual insight.
Written by lic.phil. Dip RSA Robin Hull, the book offers teachers both insightful commentary and a personal touch — making it an invaluable addition to English teaching resources in Switzerland.
Brave New World
A visionary dystopia and one of the most influential novels of the 20th century.
Brave New World transports readers into a world where technology, social control, and consumption eclipse individuality and freedom.
This classroom edition includes annotations, background information, and exercises to support textual analysis — making it ideal as a Brave New World classroom resource and for students working toward the Cambridge English C2 Proficiency exam.
Why this bundle works
Together, these two books form a well-designed learning ladder:
- Aldous Huxley for Beginners provides the historical and philosophical context.
- Brave New World brings Huxley’s ideas to life in literary form.
Used side by side, they allow teachers to integrate literature into language teaching effectively — building students’ vocabulary, analytical skills, and cultural understanding.
Now available as a special bundle for only CHF 38.50 (instead of CHF 43.50), this offer gives you meaningful classroom resources at excellent value.
