Do you want to improve your own skills in English and find spelling especially difficult? Are you taking an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) or literacy class? Or are you a teacher of ESOL or literacy classes and need a comprehensive resource with information and exercises to help improve your students’ spelling? Aimed at entry level 2 of the Adult ESOL and Adult Literacy Core Curricula, and with a separate teachers’ guide, this clear and comprehensive resource will help you learn or teach spelling patterns and how to improve spelling in English. The students’ workbook contains 22 practical modules with real-world examples and exercises covering vocabulary likely to be found in any language learning material at entry level, or in day-to-day life. It also includes a CD containing spoken examples of vocabulary for the exercises in each module.
The Teachers’ Guide (available separately: ISBN: 978-1-86201-559-3) provides teachers and tutors with an introduction to the materials, discussion of the varied and specific needs of learners, and comprehensive guidelines on planning, approach and successful delivery of the exercises for ESOL/literacy classes or groups.
