'Vocabulary Games and Activities 1' by Peter Watcyn-Jones - New Edition Один из самых удачных сборников для преподавателя английского языка, существующих на сегодняшний день. Внутри - шестьдесят (!) заданий и игр, которые призваны помочь студентам расширить свой словарный запас, а вам - снизить затраты времени на подготовку к занятиям. Всячески рекомендую!
60 dynamic and motivating activities in each book give extra practice in vocabulary at every level of ability. A detailed contents list makes it easy to find the vocabulary you want to teach.
One of the book's most attractive features is the fact that it cuts down significantly on class preparation time. All you need is access to a photocopier and scissors. In fact some activities require neither. "Three-in-a-row", a fun quiz, is an ideal stand-by for that class one has to give at a moment's notice.
What impresses most about "Vocabulary Games and Activities" is the sheer variety of activities it has to offer. Apart from the afore-mentioned, you can find: bingo, dominoes, word-grouping activities, conundrums, "Find someone who", board games and dictations, all with the underlying characteristics of encouraging interaction in the classroom, reinforcing existing vocabulary and teaching new lexis in an almost effortless, and always enjoyable way.
Teachers familiar with Peter Watcyn-Jones's other work, such as the immensely useful "Test your Vocabulary" and "Target Vocabulary" series will need no further persuasion. For the uninitiated among you, let me sum up by saying that it's surely his finest resource book to date.
Headstart Beginner Workbook
От авторов популярного курса Headway!
Курс предназначен для взрослых учащихся, совершенно не владеющих английским языком, не умеющих писать, читать, говорить и различать английскую речь.
This is the Workbook for the first book in the Headway series, but it was published somewhat as an after thought. It really is an excellent book for adults wishing to begin learning English as a foreign language. It presumes no prior knowledge of the language, but it does make use of all those "recent" words such as "radio" or "cassette" that most students are familiar with. It is a very good classroom book, with whole class work as well as small group activities, and the workbook provides useful back-up. The audio cassette is vital, and unlike the dreaded listening activities of the later books it is not all intimidating for students.

Part II contains the accompanying worksheets, which can be copied, making many of the activities instantly available for use in class. A comprehensive table of activities and an index are included for ease of reference
Thinking It Through
Linking language skills thinking skills and drama
Teaching children to "think" has now become an acceptable part of educational practice and the benefits of using activities to develop thinking skills are well researched. It is not, however, always possible to fit this into an already congested timetable and, along with drama and other creative subjects, it is often an occasional 'add on' rather than an integral part of teaching. ___The authors have worked together to provide a collection of practical ideas which incorporate thinking activities and drama into lessons across the curriculum. The activities are the result of first-hand experience and have been used successfully with children of different ages and abilities. ___The lessons provided in this book are presented in a format which is easily accessible, can be quickly adapted for individual classes, shows National Curriculum links and also provides suggestions for differentiation and extension. Many of the suggestions could be used by teaching assistants when supporting individual pupils or groups of pupils, with the emphasis on questioning skills, language use and challenging children’s thinking and learning.
Tandem Plus is a collection of forty communicative pair work activities for elementary and lower-intermediate students of English. Each activity contains photocopiable task sheets for the students plus detailed teaching notes. The activities are principally designed for secondary school students but they can also be used with older students following a general English course. Tandem Plus can be used to complement any structurally or functionally organised coursebook, either as an integrated part of the teaching programme or as revision.
