Do our pupils want to communicate? Of course they do. Just listen to them as they come into the classroom and settle down. If we let them, they would never stop talking! This urge to communicate is a resource that we can use to good effect in the classroom.
The emphasis in these materials is firmly on involving all learners in what they want and need to say, using language for a real purpose. Takes the pressure off the non-specialist teacher, by providing suggestions for a very straightforward way of introducing the language gradually. Excellent preparation for a study of formal grammar. Includes over 1000 appealing cartoon illustrations and gameboards, with many suggestions for multisensory activities and games.
