Written by a teacher, kept because real classes kept working.
Kurt has been making supplementary worksheets for his own classes for over two decades, because most coursebooks are boring. The ones that reliably got students talking became these lessons — now used by teachers from young learners to adults, in schools around the world.
Teachers save time
Planning shrinks to choosing and printing. With every student busy, you can roam the room and help wherever it's needed.
Students learn by doing
Minutes in, the class gets noisy — sometimes very noisy. Pairs and small groups are working the task, using English to learn English.
All four skills, speaking first
Listening and speaking take priority — students have to listen closely to each other. Reading carries the task; writing is kept light.
Fun, with a target underneath
Lessons run from silly to serious, but each has one specific goal: a grammar point, a vocabulary set, or fluency.
One-time purchase. No subscription, no expiry: you may reproduce the worksheets for your own students at your school for as long as you teach.
The lesson is the task, so the hour isn't you explaining — it's pairs pushing each other for answers. You're free to circle the room and help the two who need it.
Teachers have been writing in for years.
“I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons. I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored.
“I teach young learners, adolescents, young adults, adults… and they work with all of them. All the lessons and worksheets are very creative and they foster my students' motivation and participation.
“Five years teaching groups as varied as music college, military and Bible college students — from the highest ranking officer to the most ordinary school-kid, they all enjoy your lessons.
