About this series

​Versatile Lessons for Teachers is a series of practical e-booklets designed to provide teachers with both linguistic insights and ready-to-use lessons for the classroom.

The series is launching in March 2025.

​The title carries a double meaning, reflecting the flexibility of the preposition for in English—these booklets offer lessons for teachers to learn from (beneficiary meaning) while also containing structured lessons for teachers to use with their students (purpose meaning). This dual function highlights the series' aim to support both professional development and classroom practice.
