Sound Foundations is an ideal introduction to the English phonological system and an invaluable resource, whether you teach full pronunciation courses or you’d simply like to improve the quality of your work on pronunciation as it comes up in the classroom. The first half of the book is a description of the phonological system. In it, Adrian Underhill discusses the sounds of English and describes how they are physically produced. The second half consists of creative and practical classroom activities which you can use to help your students acquire more comprehensible pronunciation. In this new edition, an Audio CD has been added which contains clearly recorded examples of the sounds described in the book.

As teachers we often talk about ‘covering’ grammar points. Scott Thornbury explains why it is more useful to think about how we ‘uncover’ grammar, to reveal the workings of the system to our students and encourage them to notice what is going on. The book uses extracts from exchanges in real classrooms, authentic texts and language teaching tasks. It provides lots of practical activities so that you can immediately and easily put the ideas to work in your classroom.

In this classic text, Christine Nuttall examines and breaks down the skills we use in reading. Based on this analysis, she suggests practical strategies you can immediately use in the classroom to help your students develop their reading competence to a higher level. Especially useful for exam and EAP classes.

Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, the Gallipoli campaign and the subsequent bitter struggle between Greeks and Turks, Birds Without Wings traces the fortunes of one small community in south-west Anatolia - a town in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacefully for centuries. When war is declared and the outside world intrudes, the twin scourges of religion and nationalism lead to forced marches and massacres, and the peaceful fabric of life is destroyed. Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim the Goatherd who has courted her since infancy are but two of the many casualties. With the end of a community that once transcended religious differences, their great love seems destined to end in tragedy and madness…<

The Role Play is ideal for developing fluency and offers a focal point for lessons integrating the four skills.
