There are four Modules in this series. This Teacher's Guide is part of a series of the three books, Student Reader, Workbook and Teacher's Guide that comprise Module 1 Part 1.

Many of the exercises and activities will be incomplete if bought without the series - Student Reader, Workbook and Teacher's Guide. The availability of this series of Modules, each in two Parts, allows schools, colleges and universities to provide books for half of each Module at a time. This allows flexibility in administering the program.This Teacher's Guide provides Oral Questions for every lesson. During a number of years of teaching English Second Language students in the Czech Republic we asked the students to complete surveys that listed the many types of activities that they had participated in. Our students consistently rated this oral questions activity as the most helpful on a scale of 1 to 10. Teachers will find: - Learning English with Laughter philosophy- Oral questions for every lesson- Answers to all questions from the Student Reader and Teacher's Guide- Notes to teachers that provide suggestions or background information- Competitive whole class Team Games- Picture Bingo with enrichment captions included- Games that reinforce the use of difficult verbs such as "to do"- Information charts to complete- Partner activity to reinforce noun plurals- Finding and recording personal information provided on a chart- Role-playing greetings using role-cards.- Questioning activity to find a specific person (role-cards)- Unit tests after every fourth lesson- Test answers- Marking instructions- Mid-term test after Lesson 20. The activities listed above spark a lot of laughter that creates a relaxed learning atmosphere. This Teacher's Guide is an essential part of Module 1 Part 1. The program provided in the Student Reader and the Workbook cannot be successfully presented without the use of this Guide. As it is for teacher use only the provision of one copy per teacher is sufficient. All Guide activities can be photocopied as needed. The online version is presently being used in more than 80 countries of the world.
