A few years ago, Ray Clark had a simple idea: send postcards to those who might share their thoughts with others on loss, remembrance, war, and peace. The response was remarkable. Men and women from all walks of life, from the Cabinet, the House of Lords, and the senior ranks of the British Army to ex-servicemen, military historians, journalists, and war widows, felt moved to express their feelings in a few words on that postcard. This book will sadden, provoke, and inspire. All the royalties on sales will go to two charities. The first is Help for Heroes, established in 2007 working for the wounded of the British Armed forces, an astonishingly successful organization responsible for huge capital projects like the £8.5m Rehabilitation Complex at Headley Court as well as providing funds to wounded individual members of the armed forces according to need. The second is Action Cancer, providing early detection, counseling, and support services and prevention education. They were there for Ray when his wife was diagnosed as terminally ill, and this book has been created with love and gratitude.

Heroes from American History is a reading text which explores American history and geography, starting each of the 16 lessons with a brief biography of a famous American woman or man whose life of struggle and conflict made a lasting contribution to American culture that is still relevant today. The lessons use maps and timelines to bring out the historical contexts, and they offer lots of practice with: Reading and vocabulary development, Retelling, Critical thinking and writing, Simple research appropriate for web work, and Discussion. Of the sixteen people featured in the book, thirteen of them are brought to life in the short biographical plays in Anne Siebert's Celebrating American Heroes, a companion volume to this text that is appropriate for reading aloud dramatically in class.

A book of seven game techniques plus sample games, easy to prepare and play using 3x5 index cards. Student-centered activities provide practice in: vocabulary building, sentence/paragraph structure, pronunciation &amp; spelling, questioning, and conversation. The explanation of each game includes a brief description of the game and a statement of its purpose, instructions for playing the game both for the teacher and for the students, variations, and a list of grammar, vocabulary, and conversation situations that can be practiced with the game. A starter kit of sample games at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels is given for each game. Once the samples are put on index cards and the class has had fun using the game, the same techniques can be used to practice whatever language or cultural information the students need to work on. The possibilities are endless. Language games are useful pace breakers. But more than that, they build a spirit of cooperation and of shared learning. The games were developed by teachers at the School for International Training.

The book gives ideas and photocopyable vocabulary lists supporting most of what we do as ESL/EFL teachers today. First, there are 85 pages of linguistic material on the phonology, morphology/lexicon, and grammar of English. Then there are ten situations to be presented in lessons and discussed, such as health and safety, personal and family needs, shopping and services, recreation, and citizenship. There are also 63 topics to teach about - for example, cooking, human relationships, natural resources, math, the body, hotels, banking, law, the media, college, history, and death. There are four lists of communicative functions to be considered at different proficiency levels. There are 42 cultural topics updated - on U.S. and Canadian geography, government, and history; on sports, superstitions, education, and the media. And there are 17 metalinguistic topics including a glossary of grammatical terms, spelling rules, a high-frequency word list, abbreviations, road signs, and an atlas. Lastly, there are paralinguistic topics like photographs of American gestures and their meanings.
