Every
language learner dreams of being able to join in
with everyday conversations in real-life contexts,
but it can be difficult to remember the words you
need and use them naturally. Colour Your
English! offers a unique way of noticing,
recording, and activating useful collocations, the
basic building blocks of language, and phrases
that really lend colour to the way we speak.
Each of the twelve units is centred around a
location in a town, and in each unit, students
review and extend more than thirty collocations
with common verbs and nouns while practising
listening and speaking skills. The central
activity—colouring a scene—tests recall and
provides an attractive and user-friendly permanent
record of target language for revision. The
speaking activities have been designed to boost
confidence and fluency for B1/B2 students in
real-life situations.
