Class Book: It is absolutely essential that students’ listening skills be developed. Therefore, the CDs should always be used in the exercises which involve listening comprehension. The book includes videos which are really worth watching.

Activity Book: The Picture Dictionary pages are found at the back of the AB, along with the accompanying stickers.  There’s also an Extra Grammar Practice section which you will find really useful.

Teacher’s Guide: We strongly recommend the use of the Teacher's Guide. It contains a tour of a unit which will guide you as to how to deal with the material combining CB and AB, the course syllabus, step-by-step teaching notes for every lesson in the book, together with extra ideas, transcripts for all the recordings, answers for all activities, an Ideas Bank with games and songs and a wordlist containing the core vocabulary and other key language.  

There’s a Teacher’s Resource Centre, which you can access using the code at the back of the Teacher’s Guide, where you can find tests, videos, extra material and guides to help you with the course. Unit tests are compulsory. We suggest the use of the Revision worksheets.

Classroom Resource Pack: It contains flashcards, wordcards and a poster. 

Reader: We suggest you deal with Jasper’s Pot of Gold after the winter holidays. There are interesting exercises on the Activity Pages throughout the book. We strongly advise you to use the audio to help your students further develop their listening skills.   We recommend you buy the Teacher’s book, which contains the reader itself, some notes and the audio.

We suggest you join OXFORD TEACHERS’ CLUB to make use of all the resources for Bright Ideas.
