The hundreds of photocopiable, lively illustrations carry out 66 picture sequences based on Asher's Total Physical Response (TPR) approach-just waiting to be used by beginning ESL students of all ages! The picture sequences are presented without text in step-by-step, clear tear-out pages to maximize flexible lesson planning and are grouped under the following units: AM-PM, Health and Safety, At Home, Going Out, Holidays and Leisure, At School, and Weather.

Definitely one to add to your resource library.
