ESL books for English teachers
Our ESL books for teachers are mostly available in PDF form or as photocopier friendly, A4 sized paperbacks.
Collaborative crosswords form the basis of a pairwork speaking activity aimed at learning and describing new vocabulary.
Unlike a regular crossword, students must themselves supply the clues to their partner who has the other half of the puzzle, this gives them practise in expressing concepts for which they may not fully have the required vocabulary.
The vocabulary in this book is British English, a US English version will be available in the near future.
Are you finding these ESL conversation questions useful? Our book 50 Conversation Classes features 50 themed sets of conversation cards. Each set is accompanied by a sheet of vocabulary, grammar and idiom activities to help prepare the ground. Keep it in your bag and you’ll always have a backup plan.
