authentic – motivational - enjoyable – relevant

"Authentic", "motivational", "enjoyable" and "relevant". These are the four ingredients which we consider to be our recipe for successful study materials.

 

Our aim is to provide packs of photocopiable resources which target those areas of language learning rarely covered by traditional textbooks.  We appreciate the constraints of time management, stress and work overload to which all teachers are subjected and hope to alleviate these problems by producing topic-based “themed” packs which both deliver the language effectively and provide that vital “fun” ingredient to maintain student motivation.

 

 

**** AVAILABLE FROM OCTOBER 2008 ****

 

"Sport" (French and German)

 

"Feasts and Festivals" (French and German)

 

"Starters for Beginners" - a teacher's guide to the tricky problem of getting your lessons off to a good start!

 

 

Our first products were photocopiable worksheets based on the Euro 2008 Football Championship in June 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.  These were aimed at Key Stage 3 students and were differentiated into Foundation, Intermediate and Higher level worksheets in order to cover the full ability range.  There were 20 worksheets in each pack, plus introduction and answer sections.  Each pack was provided in a sturdy plastic clipfile. 

 

This is what you said about our "Euro 2008" workpacks:

 

"We appreciated the real linguistic challenge incorporated in the pack. Such resources will be invaluable as the New Secondary Curriculum stresses the need for cultural & cross-curricular themes as well as authentic contexts. More please!" 

Wendy Hale, Cowley Language College, St Helen’s.

 

"One particularly positive outcome was that students really enjoyed and focused closely on the games and code-breaking puzzles."

Emma Williams, Morecambe High School.

 

"I found the packs especially beneficial for boys, encouraging research and dictionary work."

Ann Laemmer, Moor Park  Business & Enterprise School, Preston.
