I needed a collection of English texts to give my EFL/ESL and other students the opportunity of speaking aloud - which is the essence of 'Learning to Speak a language'.For whatever it's worth, here it is - with downloadable hard copy.

I never once prepared a formal written 'lesson plan' to present to my superiors, who shared my view that if the inspiration of the moment and the professional judgement of the individual teacher were not sufficient the whole game would be up: so no opinions are here offered as to what use might be made of the resources.
