Welcome to the new pre-intermediate self-study page! 
We have collated a list of interesting free resources that we often give our students for 'homework'. Our students love these activities so much, we thought we'd share them with all of you. 

We have given each activity a title which tells you the main skill that you will practise. Then you can see the theme, for example Business English, and then a summary which includes some suggestions or instructions.  Have fun!
