Master English news vocabulary in months — not years.
If you find it hard to follow the vocabulary used in English-language news, you’re not alone. Many B2 and C1 students (including those preparing for TOEFL or IELTS) struggle to keep up with the fast-paced, idiomatic, and often indirect language of headlines and reports.
That’s where English in the News comes in.
Created by the author of the best-selling The Only Academic Phrasebook You’ll Ever Need, this book is a one-of-a-kind resource designed to help you decode real-world news vocabulary and use it confidently in conversation.
What makes this book different:
-
Practical news language: Focuses on words and expressions that actually appear in news stories but that are often overlooked in traditional vocabulary books.
-
Clear, everyday explanations: Hundreds of headlines adapted from authentic sources, broken down and explained in simple terms.
-
Use it your way: Browse it like a mini dictionary, or follow one lesson at a time. The choice is yours.
-
Real collocations: Learn how words are used together in the real world, based on the massive 19-billion-word News on the Web (NOW) corpus.
You’ll also get:
-
Audio support via QR codes

Review exercises to reinforce what you’ve learned
Whether you’re looking to boost your vocabulary, sound more fluent in conversations about current events, or simply understand the news without guessing, this book will help you get there faster.
