– Practical Activities in Living Language and Communication Studies – Consolidating Values through Everyday Communication
The three books in the Everyday English series bring new teaching activities, relevant to the English curriculum and easy to implement in class work. Structured in two forms of approach to communication – one social/cognitive and the other practical – the books cover three ascendant levels of skills and values – see topics covered in each book below.
As the series advances, the stories gain more detail, their meanings touch more sensitive nuances; the subject matter expands; the analysis and judgement processes become more complex and refined; the language explores wider and more challenging vocabulary and grammar phenomena, from synonyms and antonyms to derivates, spelling tips, rare or archaic words, usage of pronouns and verbs etc.
Although aimed at primary school students, the books can be used for an older audience whose English is not at the expected level of competency. The series may also be used as a practical EAL resource.
