What truly makes the HELBLING Shakespeare readers stand out is that unlike many graded readers that stop at simplified text and a few comprehension tasks, these books go much further. Inside, students will find:
- engaging and varied activities
- performance and discussion tasks
- CAE-style language practice
- vocabulary and fluency development
- critical thinking activities
- extensive arts and culture sections
With around 130 pages of arts and culture material, this reader can easily become the basis of a whole CLIL-style mini course, combining literature, theatre, history, and language learning in a much more meaningful way.
Students also get access to the HELBLING e-zone, Cyber Homework and the Media App with audio and additional digital materials.
Lair’s tip: Use the mistaken identity scenes for improvisation practice. Put students in pairs, give each pair a short situation from the play, and ask one student to secretly pretend to be someone else. The other student has to figure it out through conversation only. It’s brilliant for practising spontaneous questions, reactions, and conversational English.
