Practise and Pass is especially useful for pupils who need to prepare and practise for the Cambridge YLE Tests over a relatively short period or alongside another course book. Each level provides 20 to 30 hours of material.

Practise and Pass is much more than a collection of practice tests. The activities are lively and communicative and follow a clear progression, so the pupils prepare, practise and pass:

In the prepare section the language is introduced

In the practise section the language is practised in a meaningful and fun way

In the pass section the language is tested in a way that will make the Young Learners test familiar to the pupils

The Pupil’s Book is further divided into three sections, with separate sections covering the Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing parts of the test, so that it is possible to work on different parts of the exam if extra work is required.

Using Phrasal Verbs for Natural English Elizabeth Walter and Kate Woodford CEF: B1-B2

Every learner of English wants to develop fluent, natural English – understanding and using phrasal verbs is an essential part of this development. Using Phrasal Verbs for Natural English not only helps learners to understand phrasal verbs, but also helps them learn when and how to use phrasal verbs successfully, to produce natural-sounding English.

Using Phrasal Verbs for Natural English: Teaches students over 400 commonly used phrasal verbs

Builds students’ confidence in using phrasal verbs appropriately through thorough and varied practice

Students go on to understand and use the collocations with confidence in a variety of contexts.

Delta Academic Objectives: Reading Skills Louis Rogers • CEF: B2-C1Emma Kuhles (Teachers Book)

Delta Academic Objectives: Reading Skills has been written to prepare students for academic reading, placing emphasis not only on extensive reading skills development, but also on continued language development through four main areas: Understanding the text, Critical thinking, Using the text and Language Focus.

Understanding the text activities develop essential comprehension skills, teaching students to further analyze texts and interpret standpoint and argument.

Critical thinking activities go on to actively develop students’ abilities to critically engage with a text, teaching them to assess the strength of an argument or its validity, and constantly challenge the ideas of others.

Using the text activities show students how to incorporate others’ ideas with their own to formulate arguments and conclusions in academic writing.

Key features: written for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level

themes relate to a wide range of common academic subject fields

texts are both academic and common to everyday life, thus accessible to all students

contains a section of exercises to practice vocabulary in the Academic Word List

IELTS Advantage

IELTS Resource PackPhotocopiable resource book for all teachers of IELTS preparation classes

Jon Marks

Preparing classes for the IELTS exam can become a gruelling cycle of exam practice and intensive language analysis. Communication games and activities may be available, but with the exam approaching, it can seem inappropriate to spend time on anything not directly relevant to the exam.

The 25 lively games and activities in this book aim to help with this dilemma. They are fun, motivating, and in many cases kinaesthetic (i.e. students use their bodies as well as their minds), yet they all relate directly to the exam.

IELTS Resource Pack provides teachers with valuable resource material to liven up their IELTS preparation classes and help ensure success for their students!

Also included is a:

Bank of legally photocopiable exam practice material

Audio CD of listening material

It offers:

guidance on taking on the challenge of the digital revolution insight into how learners engage with gaming outside the classroom advice and activities for effectively bringing the world of gaming inside

the classroom

The Company Words Keep Lexical chunks in language teaching Paul Davis and Hania KryszewskaThe Company Words Keep examines how we store language in ready-made chunks that we retrieve and use, rather than elaborately constructing ‘grammar’ each time we speak. The authors provide a wealth of activities which apply their methodology to both the coursebook and to authentic contexts, taking advantage of corpus linguistics. Teachers are also offered suggestions and activities for further development in this exciting field.

The Company Words Keep proposes that: teachers need to develop a methodology that implements a more lexical approach learners at all levels need to be trained in collecting and expressing themselves

in chunks teachers need to raise learners’ awareness of chunks, encouraging them to focus

on word partnerships
