Do as I Say

We are currently refreshing our shelves and this title is 70% off with promo code: Super70 Do As I Say is an action-driven, photocopiable resource that brings "learning by doing" to the center of the ESL/EFL classroom. The book features three categories of sequential tasks--operations, procedures, and rituals-- each ed to immerse students in hands-on language use. Whether students are manipulating everyday objects, following multi-step processes, or practicing predictable conversational exchanges, they acquire vocabulary, grammar, and functional language naturally through performance rather than memorization. Operations offer students the chance to physically manipulate equipment or objects, giving language meaning through movement. Procedures guide learners through a structured sequence of steps--for example, assembling something, conducting a simple experiment, or completing a task that requires accuracy and cooperation. Rituals highlight the conversational patterns that accompany these actions, helping students master the predictable, formulaic language used in real-life interactions. Clear teaching notes at the back of the book outline the vocabulary, grammatical structures, and communicative goals of each activity, allowing instructors to implement lessons confidently and with intention. The activities are highly engaging, kinesthetic, and ideal for learners who benefit from interactive, task-based experiences. Because students must talk, do, negotiate, and collaborate, they gain fluency and accuracy while developing the problem-solving and social communication skills needed for authentic interaction. Do As I Say embodies true active learning--giving students not only the words of English, but the experience of using them.
