Welcome to Silver Hammer Publications

The aim of this website is to provide quality EFL teaching material cheaply.

If you're a UK-based school looking for an alternative to expensive grammar-based coursebooks with their equally expensive CDs, workbooks, teacher's books, etc. please click on Everyday English above. If you're aiming to provide your students with essential background information which will enhance their stay in UK and enable them to get more from the excursions they go on, click on A very Short Guide to Britain above.

I firmly believe that good teachers should not rely on expensive published material to deliver quality lessons, but instead should develop a range of classroom activities which can be delivered without photocopying, tailored to a wide range of classes and prepared very quickly. Quizword is one teaching resource which satisfies all of these criteria. It is a set of question cards which can be used in a number of ways.
