• Teaching grammar
Most teachers are concerned with the need to incorporate
grammar, whether explicitly or implicitly, into their lesson
planning. This course presents techniques that teach and
practise various structures in interactive activities that
are both effective and fun to use. Teachers sample a range
of techniques designed to remedy particular problems through
pictures, games and mini-dialogues.

Integrated skills
All students need at some time to use all four language
skills. Skills cannot be taught in isolation. This course
presents a range of techniques which link two or more of
the skills together in practice.

vocabulary. This course gives teachers an opportunity to
practise contemporary English while sampling a range of
techniques for teaching vocabulary, idioms and collocations
to their own students.

Teaching oral/aural skills
This course aims to present and sample
a selection of techniques which help students to improve
their phonological performance, paying attention to their
particular problems of pronunciation, stress and intonation.
It demonstrates a range of interactive activities designed
to maximise students' talking time in class. There is an
analysis of listening skills and an opportunity to sample
a range of techniques specially designed to help learners
with difficulties.

Exploiting authentic materials
The greatest incentive for learners
of English is that the language will enable them to understand
the world around them better. They will want to leave the
classroom able to listen to English language songs, to watch
English language TV or to read English language newspapers.
We offer practical advice and materials designed to bring
the world outside into the classroom so that you can help
your students to develop their listening and reading skills.

Language practice for teachers
Many practising teachers, especially those who always teach
at the same level, often feel the need to go back to the
classroom and revise and improve their own English. Language
changes and this course gives teachers an opportunity to
practise contemporary English in a multilingual situation.
Materials are selected which give teachers maximum talking
time and every chance to improve both their accuracy and
fluency. In addition, close attention is given to the expansion
of teachers' active vocabulary, including idiom and collocation.
