From classroom practice
Created in the classroom. Tested against the timetable.
Materials shaped while planning lessons, adapting activities and trying to get a class talking.
These resources begin with familiar situations: little time between classes, mixed levels, assessments to prepare and activities that need to work in practice. The aim is to make English a language learners use, not simply a subject they study.
