The Talk Online Tutor's Guide offers a range of practical ideas for using these courses in the classroom plus photocopiable worksheets in all the languages to encourage interaction and to get learners talking.

BBC Worldwide publishes Tutor's Guides and Tutor's Cassette Packs for the following courses:
