Bring the fun back into your classroom! There are many fun ideas to get students confident with talking and using conversational English expressions. Also, pronunciation and story narration is free on YouTube, so learners can get the pronunciation at their own pace. It is ideal for helping teachers who are overwhelmed with work and need some fresh and quick ideas. This is an interesting book with a lot of variety and different activities. It is the last of four "English Skills-Speak, Read, Write" textbooks. There are ANSWERS for every exercise in the textbook.
The reading comprehension sections use eight easy-to-read chapters from the novel Speak English like Australians! This easy-to-read novel is helpful to migrants as they will share the experiences in the book. The stories include things about: migration, assimilation, self-identity, racism, intolerance, bullying, sexism, compulsive disorders, cultural misunderstandings and arranged marriages! Listen to stories on YouTube. Learners will relate to the true stories, about the experiences of a migrant family in rural Hamilton, in western Victoria. The stories are honest about what can happen to people as they settle into a new country with a different culture and try to learn Aussie English. They stimulate discussions with friends as well as in class.
Also, learners can improve their listening and pronunciation skills by listening to stories read by Aussies and to the pronunciation of the Aussie sounds on YouTube. Then learners can complete extra listening activities and pronunciation exercises in each of the Grammar & Activities books.
These Grammar & Activities books are designed to support and to enrich the knowledge of people who find Australian English "bamboozling". Many different exercises will help learners become confident to have conversations with native speakers and to understand slang and idioms too.
The books explain grammar, spelling rules, verb tenses, pronunciation, writing and much more.
There are four "English Skills-Speak, Read, Write" textbooks with answers, which you can use alone or with the novel to improve your: reading, listening, spelling, vocabulary, idioms, slang, grammar, verb tenses, conversation, writing, proverbs, phonograms, parts of speech, chants and more!
