Page One - In Taipei 101!

You're not really allowed to take pictures inside Page 101. But we did. We thought our products looked pretty cool in the world's tallest building so thought we should take a pic to show everyone.

ESL Superstars!

The ETA book show always brings out the superstars of ESL. Our neighboring booth was distributing Time magazine and Newsweek. On the other side we had Far Eastern. And then just opposite us we had Studio Classroom. Doris Brougham paid a visit on Saturday, as she was giving a workshop then, and we took the opportunity to snap some pics.



Mrs Brougham was very lovely and suggested I could call her if I ever had an teaching questions! You can even see the Interactile Learning booth in the background.

Speak Right Read Right - Short 'a' worksheet

A freebie guys! Try using this after you have taught the first 7 cards of Speak Right Read Right Kit One. The first seven cards are for the short 'a' sound and this worksheet is a good review as well as being very tactile. Have fun!

ETA Workshop

As part of this year's ETA event, Pierre had a workshop on the Friday afternoon that was attended by about 50 enthusiastic teachers. He used his hour to discuss review and why it is important and also talked a lot about having a very tactile class. One in which the students have lots of room to move and be active in their learning of English. Here are some shots of the workshop:

ETA 2009!

Last weekend Interactile Learning had its own booth at the ETA trade show in Taipei! It was awesome. We had a great time meeting lots of the cool teachers that are both interesting and interested in teaching English. If you missed it this year, make sure you are there next year.

Some happy customers checking our Speak Right Read Right and First Idioms.

That's Pierre demonstrating The Spelling Hive.

Here's a new handout to use alongside your First Questions program. Great fun!

The Spelling Hive - Book One!

The Spelling Hive is out! Not quite in bookstores just yet but should be soon. If anybody needs a copy, please let us know and we will make it happen!

The Spelling Hive is a six level program aimed at young learners aged 6 to 13. It equips students with a solid foundation for spelling and covers all the basic words they need to use for a strong start in writing and composition. It is the ideal preparation for young learner's proficiency tests.

The program follows a carefully thought out review system that ensures maximum retention of words covered by constantly re-testing previously memorized words, encouraging students to regularly self-review. Words build up into fun sentences to give context and meaning to the words taught. It is easy and fun to use.
