Oxford Basics is a new series of short, accessible books for teachers who may be unfamiliar with communicative methodology. They are a source of guidance and ideas in areas that concern teachers every day in the classroom. Each of these books contains 30 beginning-level activities complete with ideas for boardwork and pictures that can easily be copied. All of the activities are simple and adaptable. They are particularly well-suited to classrooms where there are few resources apart from a board, paper, and pens.
