This book is an invaluable tool for developing collocational sensitivity. It was first published in 1981 and later in 1995.

It presents texts which contextualize the words they focus on. They then have a section on word study. One important part of this are semantic matrices, or 'componential grids'.

Ideal as a supplementary material for CAE or CPE preparation classes.

Quality is tolerable.

There are 3-4 activities for teaching each skill: reading (crossword completion, complete cloze, split dialogues), writing (correction code, expanding sentences, group story), listening (stories, grids, using songs, telephone messages) and speaking (circle time news, more question ideas, let's talk about it, one-minute talk).

These can be also adapted to use with adult learners.
