What really makes the HELBLING Shakespeare readers stand out is that unlike many graded readers that stop at simplified text and a few comprehension questions, this series goes much further. Inside, students will find:
- engaging and varied tasks
- performance and discussion activities
- CAE-style language practice
- vocabulary and fluency work
- critical thinking tasks
- wider arts and culture content
With around 130+ pages of arts and culture material, this reader can easily become the basis of a whole CLIL course exploring literature, theatre, history, and culture alongside language learning.
Students also get access to the HELBLING e-zone, Cyber Homework, the Media App for audio and additional digital materials.
Lair’s tip: Use Hamlet’s famous soliloquies as thought tracks. Ask students to freeze a scene, then step into a character’s role and say what they are really thinking in simple modern English. It’s an effective way to practise paraphrasing, emotions, and spontaneous speaking.
