North America stretches from the arctic zone in the North to the tropical zone in the South. Most of it is in the temperate zone. The lands located in the Arctic zone are highly fragmented with deep gulfs and many islands, while its southern part, which approaches the Equator, forms the bridge between North and South America. In this narrow section the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. North America is connected to South America by a strip of land, which is called Central America and belongs to North America along with the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
This ebook will take your students on a journey across lands of huge differences, be it cultural, social, or economic. From the mighty USA to the tiny Saint Kits & Nevis, the North American continent is a unique crossroads of people and civilizations. The 20 activities at the end will consolidate your students’ knowledge of this part of the world.

The first book in our Continents series is about Europe. Thanks to its geographical location, Europe has significant advantages. It is considered the “crossroads of three continents”. Most of the peoples of the Earth meet in its lands. Its cities host the largest international product fairs and cultural gatherings. This results in the development of international transport, with which people move and goods are transported.
Few places attract travelers of all kinds like Europe. Honeymooners, history buffs, adventure and foodies, everyone can find a city (or an entire country) that beckons. From popular destinations like London, Paris, and Rome to less common destinations like Bologna or Dubrovnik, there’s so much to discover—and so many ways to get there.

Phrasal verbs are so common in English. They are also necessary to speak the language naturally. They all combine a verb with a preposition (or two). What makes them difficult to learn for some students is the fact that they often have a meaning totally different to the meaning of the base verb that forms them.
However, they are an integral part of the English language, and they are especially useful for oral communication. What is more, when you master phrasal verbs, you can also master idioms with ease, and everyday language is no longer a problem.
We have gathered the 500 most common phrasal verbs of the English language in this ebook. They are presented alphabetically for easier reference, and contain definitions and examples for each one of them. You can use this as a teaching tool, as a reference book, or as a revision resource. The choice is yours. Enjoy teaching!

In a world of screens, monitors, laptops, tablets, smartwatches and everything in between, reading is the most essential skill. From emails to text messages, and from social media to internet browsing, reading is the skill most used to communicate and understand the world around us.

Teacher profiles
Ideal for novice teachers who may not have much access to reading resources, but also for experienced teachers who want to up their game with modern resources.
A few words about Speaking
Out of the four skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing), speaking is the one skill learners need more when it comes to proving they have learnt a new language. This is because speaking is a productive skill. Learners do not simply receive information and try to process it; they are required to process information and knowledge they already possess in order to produce new language and communicate.
So, how do you get your students speaking?
Most textbooks contain structured activities that practice speaking based on the topics and content of each unit. However, it is good to deviate from the book into freer conversation. Students are always more motivated when the activity is more relevant to them. This ebook comes to fill this gap. It offers you 20 speaking activities for every CEFR level (120 in total), which can be used whenever you want to engage your students in a free communicative practice.
So, start speaking!
