Everyday English - simple, cheap, effective

The Everyday English course was written simply because I found that most existing published material didn't actually solve the problems I was facing as the organiser of a large scale summer school operation, and was usually beyond my budget anyway.

Commenting on the Everyday English course in 2005, the British Council inspection report said: '... the materials themselves are outstanding, both in terms of content and presentation.'

The key features of Everyday English are:

* it's easy for teachers (particularly inexperienced ones) to use, and doesn't 

   require a great deal of preparation.

* it's versatile: the books can be used with a range of abilities and age groups,

   and combined with other material.

* its content is appropriate for summer courses: the emphasis is on task-based

   learning, speaking, vocabulary and pronunciation.

* it covers topics from the Trinity College London exam syllabus.

* it's affordable: full colour covers but black and white inner pages. One

   Teacher's Guide covers all four levels.

* it provides a structured framework for lessons (see below).

Please note that a 'History of English' timeline runs along the bottom of the pages, which may look odd when seen out of sequence.
