A resource book of photocopiable activities for special days in the year. The Book of Days is a photocopiable resource book of skills material based around particular days of the year. The material is intended to provide a diversion from the main course book by offering innovative listening, reading and discussion texts designed to stimulate conversation and at the same time inform learners of the origins and customs of world festival days. These Audio Cassettes accompany the book and feature recordings with people of different ages and cultural backgrounds, offering the learner exposure to a wide variety of native and non-native accents.
Adrian Wallwork is the author of around 30 English Language Teaching textbooks published by: Springer Science, Oxford University Press, BBC, Cambridge University Press, Scholastic, De Agostini, and Vallardi.
He lives and works in Pisa, Italy where he enjoys the sun, the wine, and teaching PhD students from all over the world.
His dream book, which he hopes to have published in the near future, is a book to teach native English speakers to communicate more effectively with their non-native colleagues, clients, audience etc. Given the fact that there are only five hundred million native speakers, and at least 2.5 billion non-native speakers, it hardly seems fair that the minority make it so hard for the majority!!
