"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)

"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."
