Oxford University Press Student Resources

Firstly I am sorry about the month break between posts. Things went a bit crazy here for a while but have quietened down again now so here goes....

Continuing on with the publishers theme for a little longer, today I will have a look at what's available on the OUP site.

OUP offer student materials to support their course books. The site is arranged by age groups (ie primary, secondary and adult) and then course book title. I had a quick look at three of the book sites to get an idea of how much they have available for free...

The Natural Grammar site has a range of activites from puzzles to practice exercises and downloadable study calendars. Suitable for intermediate to advanced students it's not extensive but certainly has some valuable materials.

Business Focus is a pre-intermediate business English coursebook and the site is organised to correspond with the units in the book. It offers a range of exercises covering grammar, common expressions, some vocab games and an assortment of web links . There are also several other business English coursebook sites to explore. So overall plenty of business English practice at OUP.

The Headway Series is Oxford's most popular coursebook and this site seems to be the most extensive too (but i have not looked at them all so apologies to OUP if i am wrong). There are some useful features such as a website learning record to help you note which exercises you have completed and study calendar to record new vocabulary learnt each month. The main content in arranged according to level. There are plenty of activities here and a nice build your own test function to let you practice the areas you feel you need most.

Overall OUP have plenty to keep you busy and when you are done check out the teachers pages for more...
