About this book

Word Games With English is a series of 3 books of carefully graded

language activities designed to stimulate learners to practise, activate

and extend their English vocabulary

Pedagogical Basis

@ Book I, for beginners and post-beginners, is closely based on the

vocabulary designated by the Council of Europe for Waystage level

This represents the first stage of a two-stage learning process resulting

in a basic general foreign language ability (Threshold level, covered by

Book 2 in this series)

@ A number of words have also been added from grades | and 2 of

the Cambridge English Lexicon (R Hindmarsh), based on 4 major

frequency counts

@ There are 700 lexical items in this book, allowing the learner to

‘survive’ in an English-speaking context and providing a solid basis for

further study

Presentation

@ The vocabulary concentrates on the most essential topic areas:

personal and family/house and homeffree time and entertainment/

travel/health/places/shopping etc

@ Each page is highly visual with the words contextualised and their

meanings made clear by the illustrations

@ Each game makes demands on the learner's intelligence and

imagination and calls for active participation

@ There is built-in revision and recycling of certain lexical items in

different contexts

@ The book is suitable for teaching and testing, for class and group

work and for varied further exploitation

@ There is a full answer key and word list enabling the book to be

used also for self-study and revision
