Pair Work 1 forms part of the Penguin series of photocopiable resource books for teachers and is aimed at students from beginner level to pre-intermediate. It is the first book in the series and is a completely new and thoroughly revised edition. It contains 40 activities for students working in pairs, the majority of which are communicative and contain some form of information gap or opinion gap.
Each activity contains material to be photocopied. For the majority of activities there are usually two sheets - one for Student A and one for Student B. Occasionally, however, there is a single sheet which is used by both Student A and Student B during the activity. For other activities there may be extra sheets or cards to be cut up.
There are also clear and detailed step-by-step Teacher's notes to accompany each activity, including notes on preparation, organisation and ways of introducing the activity. In addition, a key is supplied for those activities which need 'correct' answers.
Pair Work 1 is meant to complement any existing course book at Beginner, Elementary or Pre-Intermediate level and can be used with both adults and teenagers to give extra pair-work practice in a fun and stimulating way.
Part 1 of the book gives detailed Teacher's notes while Part 2 contains the various handouts, to be photocopied.
