Entry 1 Skills for Life ESOL Teacher's Book is the FIRST level in a series of five for new arrivals in the UK wishing to study English. (Note: do not be confused by the illogical naming of the level by the DfES!) It is an adult course that takes students from beginner/starter level to a point equivalent to a GCSE in English. The course is designed to help new arrivals in the UK learn communicative English as quickly as possible. I focusses on real life scenarios for those living in the UK. It thus contains a lot of material and subjects not normally covered in general English coursebooks.
The podcasts on this site will help you to improve your English vocabulary and pronunciation and your listening skills. There are two short (3 to 5 minutes) podcasts every week, in clearly spoken English.Many of them are linked to grammar and vocabulary notes, or to exercises or quizes.
England and Scotland in the 1500s. Two famous queens - Mary, the Catholic Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I, the Protestant Queen of England. It was an exciting and a dangerous time to be alive, and to be a queen. Mary was Queen of Scotland when she was one week old. At sixteen, she was also Queen of France. She was tall and beautiful, with red-gold hair. Many men loved her and died for her. But she also had many enemies - men who said: 'The death of Mary is the life of Elizabeth.'
