Teachers’ feedback

“Helped to extend knowledge and understanding and stimulate discussions…Absolutely great for speaking and listening…opportunities for success for all.”

“I thought this was an absolutely brilliant resource that captured imagination and interest.  We were really pleased that it helped us focus on speaking and listening skills, and so gives us a little bit of balance in an English curriculum which has a heavy emphasis on writing … I loved teaching it.”
