It's Easy

It’s Easy is a series of slideshows on CD ROM for beginning learners of English as a Second Language. These resources are suitable for a wide range of learners including those with minimal formal education and/or minimal literacy. Each slide has a word, phrase or sentence accompanied by an illustration and audio track. Learners can view and listen as many times as they like. The simple and predictable format enables learners with very basic computer skills to use these resources. All they need to be able to do this is “click”. Titles are • Fruit • Vegetables • Jobs • Places • What are you doing? • Hello • How many? • Sounds.  Each CD ROM is accompanied by two sets of flash cards to further assist with the client's study.

Understanding First Aid

Work in Oz - Nick the Handyman

These resources are designed as content-based learning materials focussing on the world of work in Australia. The aim is to introduce learners to real Australian workers and present them with information, personal viewpoints, anecdotes and human interactions thereby allowing them to understand the world of work in Australia while they develop their language skills. Nick explores the world of work through the occupation of a handyman. It also explores everyday household problems from the perspective of a handyman, a house owner and a tenant.  It includes a wide range of spoken and written communication activities as well as numeracy practice. Each guide has a DVD showing Nick at work and procedures relating to his daily work, a CD of audio recordings, worksheets of activities, teachers' notes, Answer Keys and Transcripts of audio recordings. These are available to purchase individually or as a complete pack (including Levels 1, 2 and 3). The complete pack is presented in a plastic moulded box.
