1000+ Pictures for Teachers to CopyWright, Andrew0-17-556878-2 $44.95

1000+ Pictures for Teachers to Copy has become one of the best known and best loved books in the language teachingworldand beyond! Now, in its revised and enlarged form, it promises to serve the language world even better and to thor-

oughly live up to the reviews of the first edition.

Many teachers recognize the usefulness of simple drawings in their teaching. For such teachers (and indeed for speech thera-pists, sociologists and anyone else whose work involvescommunication) drawings have many advantages: they are quick to do, their content can be determined exactly by you, they

are easy to reproduce. But many teachers think theycannot draw! Or they feel they do not have enough time. For these people, 1000+ Pictures for Teachers to Copy is a uniqueand invaluable resource.

A clear introductory section on the basic techniques, such as stick figures and box drawings, is followed by over 1000 pic-tures which can be copied on to the blackboard, theoverhead projector or worksheets. The numerous themes and subjects covered by the illustrations include people, animals,everyday settings, common lexical sets, grammatical points and sequential narratives. A final, expanded section suggestsways in which teachers can use drawing in their teaching. A comprehensive index, which now includes American English,
