Basics - Classroom English

When we began writing the book, we were thinking of the teachers we had trained to teach English. None of them were specialist teachers of English, and most of them had few opportunities to learn and use English themselves. They all taught learners who were beginners—either complete beginners or learners who were in their second or third years of learning English. To help these teachers, we have tried to use easily understood English. We have also tried to write the book as if we were talking directly to the teacher. In this way, we hope the book will be friendly and easy to use.

Basics for Children - Starting and Ending Lessons

The idea behind this book is to provide a range of short activities that require little or no preparation to deal with the situations outlined above. These activities can be used at the start of a lesson as warm-up activities to settle the children into their lesson and to switch them onto English. Alternatively, they can be used at the end of the lesson to fill an unexpected five or ten minutes when another activity has run short, or maybe it has run long, not leaving enough time to do whatever else was planned. They can be used at any time to bring variety to the classroom dynamics, while creating opportunities for lots of revision and recycling of language. Essentially the activities are ideas to have up your sleeve in the young learners’ classroom to deal with those unexpected moments and to help meet the learning needs of under eleven-year-olds.
The activities selected range in age and level, including ideas for non­ readers and writers. A lot of these ideas involve movement, but very few resources; mostly just paper, pens, the board, and simple pictures.
