IELTS Resource Pack

by Jon Marks

IELTS Resource Pack provides teachers with valuable resource material to liven up their IELTS preparation classes and help ensure success for their students.

Preparing classes for the IELTS exam can become a gruelling cycle of exam practice and intensive language analysis. Communication games and activities may be available, but with the exam approaching, it can seem inappropriate to spend time on anything not directly relevant to the exam.

The games and activites in this book aim to help with this dilemma. They are fun, motivating, and in many cases kinaesthetic (i.e. students use their bodies as well as their minds), yet they all relate directly to the exam.

IELTS Resource Pack features:
*A bank of photocopiable exam practice material
*25 lively communicative activities specifically designed for students preparing for the IELTS exam
*Highly motivating pair-work, small-group and whole-class activities
*Language and skills students need for success in the Academic Writing, Academic Reading, Speaking and Listening modules of the exam
*Free Audio CD with listening material for the exam

About the author

I’ve been working in ELT since taking a character-buildingly awful job in a desolate agricultural town in the middle of Spain back in 1988.

Since then, I’ve taught and trained teachers in half-a-dozen countries, and in the mid nineties I began contributing material and cartoon illustrations to ELT publications.

I’ve written a number of books, including the Puzzle Time series and IELTS Resource Pack for Delta Publishing. Since 2004 I’ve been a full-time materials developer, working on a wide range of projects including online learning resources.

In the small world that’s ELT, I’m probably best-known for my regular cartoon strip in English Teaching Professional magazine.
