More Survival English: Fifteen Additional Language-Building Units Designed for the Beginning English Language Learning Student

(NOTE: The Survival English and More Survival English books are a retitled version of the Picture This! A Beginning ESL Teacher's Resource Book by Laurie Johnson. These books are designed to introduce non-English speakers living in the United States to the vocabulary commonly encountered in this country. Purchasers of the books are entitled to reproduce all activities as many times as they like, thus making it a one-time investment for years' worth of teaching.)

Survival! ESL and ELL teachers recognize this as a common goal and objective, particular in their first year of teaching. When faced with a class of 20 or more students who can’t understand what they’re saying, they are still required to keep these students engaged and learning for two or more hours a day. They need materials that these students will enjoy, and they need them as soon as possible. More Survival English: Fifteen Additional Language-Building Units Designed for the Beginning English Language Learning Student is the perfect sequel to Survival English. After building a solid vocabulary foundation in the first semester, with such thematic units as School, House, Foods, Clothing, and Weather, teachers can enrich their students' vocabulary in the second semester with diverse, interesting, and challenging new words. Each of the fifteen units contains the following items: a list of 32 words related to a particular theme; 32 picture representations of those words; a crossword puzzle; a word search puzzle; two picture quizzes; an oral dictation test; and a helpful spelling test form. Directions for how to use each item during a week are clearly stated at the beginning of the book.

The progression of vocabulary is as follows: Personal Care; Past Tense Verbs (Part One); Music; Past Tense Verbs (Part Two); Emotions; Office; Holidays; Recreation; Tools & Applicances; Senses; Car & Road; Places; Prepositions; Body (Part Two); and Airport.
