This photocopiable resource book of speaking activities is designed to encourage engaging and natural discussion among intermediate level students. The book consists of 26 topic-based units, each filled with a variety of stimulating activities. All the activities are free-standing, and comprehensive teacher's notes give a clear indication of the preparation required, as well as keys to the activities, complete tapescripts and suggestions for discussion-based writing tasks. An accompanying Audio CD with listening material from the book is also available for purchase.
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!!
