Paper free classes
The exercises are based around the whiteboard. The classes are organized in such a way as to present to the class, using only a pen and a board. It presents task orientated aims and objectives. Some of the classes are a bit hit and miss but this might have more to do with me than the activities.

The Oxford Basics series contains all the essentials for the newly qualified teacher and elementary learners. The books are organised into 30 useful topic areas eg. numbers, food and drink, describing people. Each book has the same format with units clearly laid out in the form of an actual lesson plan giving ideas for activities, checking comprehension, pronunciation points and follow-up activities. They have easy to copy pictures and a variety of exercises for each unit.

Having bought all five books in the series they did at first seem to repeat material, however because each book focuses on a different skill they complement each other. For less than the average cost of a single teaching book I'd recommend the complete series.
