EnglishClip Concise English Speaking - Free English Textbook & materials. This book is designed to be flexible, allowing the teacher to supplement at a lower or higher level. It has a mixture of functional and topical lessons, all of which are relevant for pre-intermediate to intermediate students. There are lots of pair and group activities to keep the students speaking. EnglishClip - clipping out the nonsense and getting straight to the point!
The reason I made this speaking course is that all teaching situations have varying needs. I wanted materials that could be very flexible and adaptable in unstreamed classes. Teachers can supplement with their favorite activities to enhance, up level, or down level. It is possible to focus on one part to start a project and still complete the course. It can be used effectively with low pre-intermediate students upward. The lessons start easy but ramp up in level, so It is not realistically possible to complete it in 15 lessons, whereas, over 30, it fits comfortably. EnglishClip is a concise English-speaking course full of fun and games with a very small footprint. It can be printed without too much of a drain of the printer's ink. Download your copy for free.

The word search puzzles have the same answers as the crosswords. The students could do the word search first and crossword at a later date. I use them as homework reviews before a test. I will not post the tests here at this time, but if you are a teacher, contact me.
A selection of materials I use with higher-level classes. Some of them I made, and some are old chestnuts adapted from long-since discontinued books I have used. PW - means pair-work. Quiz - usually has the teacher asking questions, the students discussing in groups, and a writer from the group writing the answer on the board. The first correct answer scores a point.
