Reviews for Richer Speaking
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book succeeds in providing enough practical ideas for newly qualified teachers to run courebook speaking tasks effectively while experienced teachers will be easily able to apply these ideas to enhance the speaking stages of their lessons. The fact that book is so short and concise means that even the busiest teacher will have time dip in for a bit of inspiration.
