I'm pleased to announce the republication of my reader, 'The Big Match', as the
first title in a new ebook series: ESOL Ereaders. The Big Match is now available
for download in several different formats, including Word, PDF and Epub (for the
IPhone, Kindle
and IPad)

The original version of The Big Match formed part of the Phoenix Bookshelf
series (Level: 'Teen/lower intermediate") and was singled out for 'particular
excellence' in Bamford & Day's Extensive Reading in the Second Language
Classroom (Cambridge University Press, 1998)

The text is accompanied by illustrations and there is an audio version. For a
sample chapter and an audio excerpt go here: http://tinyurl.com/2wuah6v. The
full ebook can be linked from there or you can go directly to

I'm also working on a new glossary and activities:http://tinyurl.com/35z52t2

After thinking long and hard, I've decided to experiment with the honour system
of payment for the time being - you don't have to pay but it would be much
appreciated if you did. Alternatively, I could really use additional worksheets
and learning sheets. Or simply spread the word to whoever might be interested.

I hope you and your students have fun reading The Big Match. Let me know how
you/they get on - feedback is always appreciated.
