Frequently asked questions

Two PDF files, one for the student, one for the teacher, ready for print and for working on screen. Once the platform is live, a matching interactive version will be added too.

No. The materials are designed to look good on screen as well as on paper, so you can teach a lesson fully digitally.

The materials are built for B1 to C1. We don't currently cover complete beginners.

Mainly for adults and older teens. These materials aren't designed with children in mind.

Very little. The teacher version includes notes for every stage, timing for each part and a full answer key, so you can open the file and teach.

A Big Talk is a complete lesson, 60 to 90 minutes. A Quick Talk is a short, polished activity, 10 to 20 minutes, for a warm up, a cool down, or a gap in a coursebook lesson.

Big Talks are built to be taught by a teacher. For independent learners, we put together separate practice materials, described on the page for learners.

Not every one. We add a podcast to some Big Talks as an extra chance to meet the target language in a new context, not to every material.

Yes. Buying a lesson gives you the right to use it one to one, in pairs, in small groups or with a full class, online or on paper, again and again.

No. The file is for your own teaching. It isn't for resale, and it isn't meant to be shared outside your own classes or passed on to other teachers.

Yes. The licence covers using the same lesson with your own students again and again, at no extra cost.

The shop is still on its way, so the full refund terms will sit in the Terms of Service once sales open. Until then, get in touch through the contact page with any question about a specific lesson.
