New pages
Recently added pages relate to vocabulary building. There is a
page looking at this, plus separate sections looking at common prefixes,
suffixes and
word roots. There are exercises and podcasts for all the new pages.

Podcasts
This is an area I am coming back to (after years of neglect). While the earliest pages added to the site (in the
presentations section) all had podcasts,
these take a long time to produce so I focused more on adding content. I am now going back and adding podcasts to existing sections,
with slightly better equipment than before. The podcasts are essentially spoken versions of the page, but modified
to include signpost phrases, so they are easier to listen to. Great for:
- students on the go;
- listening practice;
- listening classes.
Podcasts can be played on (and downloaded from) the page they are on.
Alternatively you can look for them in the special
podcasts section.

Exercises
Exercises are another area I am refocusing my efforts on. Recently added
exercises are for the
building vocabulary pages mentioned above.
Remember that when you
log in, you
can quickly see which pages have exercises, as well as which pages have had exercises added since your last login session.
I plan to send out separate newsletters to login section users in future so they can catch the updates more regularly.

EAP Foundation series
A couple of updates for the
EAP Foundation series of books.
First, I'm excited to announce that books in the EAP Foundation series can now be
ordered in bulk direct from the publisher, with savings
of up to 25% (exact amount depends on country). Shipping is free for orders over 5 copies. Perfect for:
- schools or universities wanting class sets;
- students ordering together.
Secondly, several of you have been asking about the publication date of
Academic Writing Genres, the next book in the
EAP Foundation series. There have been a few things holding this up (not least, the day job!). However, things are looking good
and publication is set for end of December. Details in the next newsletter!
