The Dementia Care Training Library is a a unique modular suite of person-centred, dementia-specific content. It provides everything for professionals working in relevant care services to deliver authoritative in-house training. Once users have delivered the two core introductory modules contained within the Starter Pack binder, they can expand the training library by adding any of the twelve further Dementia Care Training Library modules (Modules 3-14). These will be published regularly throughout 2022 and 2023. The optional modules are provided as loose-leaf pages to be added to the master binder.
All Dementia Care Training Library materials take an Action Learning approach. This provides a balance of information and practice-based activities that allow learners to reflect on and apply new knowledge in real time as a staff team, and which ultimately leads to changes in practice in the care environment.

In Other Words: Comprehensive grammar practice for B2–C1 English language learners is an easy to use communicative grammar practice book. Together with accompanying online listening materials, the book can be used both for self-study and as supplementary material for the classroom (whether face-to-face or online). It puts grammar in familiar contexts, provides guidance on its use, and then gives multiple opportunities for free and communicative use, mainly through speaking.
The book targets grammar known to be problematic at B2 and C1 level. It ranges from working on standard essential grammar such as tenses or modals to areas such as register, the features of spoken language and academic writing. The book aims to make working on grammar an enjoyable learning experience. It also aims to help learners to convert knowledge of grammar into use and the development of flexibility of expression.
Divided into 70 double-page spread lessons, each with a single grammar focus, In Other Words allows both the teacher and the learner to take a dip in approach. This allows all users to orient themselves quickly in the materials. The short but effective format of each lesson means they can fit in well within the time constraints of lessons, and work alongside any learners’ course of study. It provides communicative and exam practice in key areas of grammar if needed, whilst also providing both the teacher and the learner with ample opportunity to tailor their grammatical focus according to their needs.
ETpedia Pronunciation is the go-to book for teaching pronunciation. It provides all the key terms and techniques in easy-to-understand terms, and equips teachers with a huge range of creative ideas and activities for pronunciation lessons, whether they are being conducted in the classroom or online. Whether you are a newly qualified teacher looking for a one-stop resource or a more experienced teacher looking to expand your skills and integrate pronunciation more actively into their lessons, ETpedia Pronunciation offers 500 tips and ideas to help! With the dramatic rise in live online teaching, the book also includes a special feature on how to teach pronunciation online and make maximum use of the technology available.
Organised into 50 units each containing 10 ideas, this spiral-bound book is easy to dip in and out of. It will save you planning time, provide inspiration, and help you motivate students. It will even anticipate problems students might have with different aspects of pronunciation. Each unit provides you with 10 tips, ideas or activities related to theory and practice in the classroom as well as suggestions for homework and self-study tasks. In the Appendix you will also find photocopiable handouts with additional classroom activities. These can be used exactly as they are, or adapted and developed to suit your own context. Throughout the book you will also find quotes from experienced teachers, sharing their views, ideas and experiences on teaching pronunciation.
Inside, you’ll find sections focusing on different areas such as:
“The key strengths of Hughes and Erasmus’s publication are giving teachers an accessible overview of the theory, methodology and main questions regarding pronunciation: showing how to approach pronunciation to develop students’ receptive (listening) and productive (speaking) skills; offering a wide range of activities on core pronunciation features such as word stress, sentence stress, individual sounds, connected speech and intonation; and having teachers reflect on their teaching.” – Ana P Biazon Rocha, Modern English Teacher (32.3, May/June 2023).
“I’ve benefitted tremendously from the refresher course I felt like I received from reading through ETpedia Pronunciation. It was able to remind me of a few activities I hadn’t used in a while and also introduced a lot of new ones, whilst also enabling me to take a load off my planning and preparation plate with the photocopiable resources in the appendix. Whether just starting out and learning more about pronunciation and phonology, or if in need of a few tips to freshen up the toolkit, teachers at any stage of their career will find ETpedia Pronunciation to be an excellent resource.” – Jonathan Yates, English Australia Journal (39.2, September 2023).
The ETpedia series is a collection of resources for English language teachers, offering thousands of tips, ideas, and practical activities. Each title offers 500 ideas on a particular topic, which teachers can dip in and out of as needed to find practical ideas and advice to take straight into the classroom. ETpedia Pronunciation is the twelfth title in the series, and particularly complements ETpedia Vocabulary and ETpedia Grammar.
