Many of the worksheets are designed in such a way that a student can complete them independently.

I hope you enjoy this book and that your students are inspired to take a more active, more motivated role in their own learning.

This comprehensive pack of worksheets is not linked to any particular book or reading scheme and can be used time and again with different books.

Talk a Lot - Spoken English Course A Great Way to Learn How to Really Speak English! Intermediate Book 1 • Four full-length spoken English courses • Over 200 hours of quality learning materials! • Brand new and unique learning method • Learn to use 8 essential intermediate level verb forms • Learn real English – idioms, phrasal verbs, and slang! • Practise using sounds, stress, and connected speech • 100% photocopiable As well as the teaching material for each course – around 45 hours in total – this book contains more than 100 pages of additional material which complements the course activities, for use in the classroom or for self-study at home. This book is for students who are studying from intermediate level (B2/FCE) to advanced level (C1/CAE), although there will also be plenty of good material for students at pre-intermediate level. The main proposal of this book is that intermediate level can come as something of a shock for students who realise that, despite dutifully learning all the basic grammatical forms and vocabulary at elementary level, the English language remains just as unknowable as ever, thanks to the introduction – at intermediate level – of non-literal English – i.e. idioms, phrasal verbs, and slang. Despite knowing plenty of words with their literal meanings, the goal of fluent communication retreats further into the distance, as the student begins to find coded language wherever they look – English that doesn’t make sense as they know it. For example, they may have learned the vocabulary words “cost”, “arm”, and “leg”, but do they know what it means “to cost an arm and a leg”? (To be very expensive!) Talk a Lot Intermediate provides plenty of practice with these bewildering forms.

I have edited Levels 1 to levels 4 so there are now reading questions relating to every slide. I have mixed up all the original Thinking Hat colours and done away with black and white as I had teachers who felt these were not appropriate in a primary classroom and relaunched it all as Thinking Scarves - I hope you like the changes and leave me a nice comment below! These books are great to share.
