• How to Teach with TED Talks: A Practical Guide for English Teachers by Lewis Lansford. Lansford’s book is organised into five main parts with each part further divided into units, making it easy for educators to navigate and implement the suggested teaching methods with each section preparing a lesson for the teacher to use as a model.

• Teaching English in the primary school: A task-based introduction for pre-and in-service teachers by Annika Kolb & Marita Shocker. The book is intended for preservice and novice teachers teaching English in primary schools by revising the main methodology principles and getting inspired by the variety of examples from the classroom.
• The Art of Writing B2 - Student's Book (with DigiBooks App) by Jenny Dooley. The Art of Writing was written to assist students in learning to write
  six practical text types; emails and letters, stories and a variety of different types of essays, descriptive articles, reviews and reports. Each chapter follows a similar pattern and includes models, charts and diagrams to keep them on track, and an evaluation tool at the end.
