(Ebook) How Idioms Work: Resource Book by Yvonne Clarke ISBN 9781859645543, 1859645542

How Idioms Work is designed for adult learners of English who, despite a good grasp of English, find idiomatic language in their workplace or university confusing or incomprehensible.
This fully photocopiable Resource Book provides clear, literal representations of high-frequency idioms chosen specifically for their lexical value in the world today. Ten eight-page sections comprise activity cards, definitions, reading consolidation (using semi-authentic newspaper articles) and revision activities. It also includes teacher tips and recommendations, 20 suggested activity types, an answer key and templates for devising further activity cards. 
How Idioms Work is ideal for complementing any skills-based lessons, as well as a general filler to add fun and variety to teaching.
Each section of photocopiable pages is organized as follows:
• a summary of the idioms being covered
• illustrations of the idioms
• written idioms
• definitions of the idioms
• newspaper articles with idioms in use
• revision exercises and a talking point.
