Basic English for European Projects

Practical English for international learning and everyday communication

Basic English for European Projects is a practical workbook for teachers, educators and school staff who want to communicate more confidently in English during international courses, European projects and mobility experiences.

The book focuses on useful English for real situations rather than complicated theory. Learners practise the vocabulary, grammar and expressions they may need while travelling, attending a course, meeting international colleagues or communicating in everyday life.

What is inside?

The workbook contains six structured units combining practical vocabulary, accessible grammar explanations and opportunities to use English actively.

• Useful vocabulary for courses, projects, travel and everyday communication
• Clear grammar explanations with practical examples
• Reading activities connected to realistic situations
• Writing and speaking practice
• Classroom tasks for using new language
• Exit tickets for reviewing each unit
• A vocabulary list of common English verbs

Six practical English units

The units introduce English through situations that teachers and educators may experience while participating in European projects or international training.

• Hello, Amsterdam! — introductions, countries, nationalities, cities and jobs
• What Time Is the Course? — numbers, dates, times, schedules and prices
• At the Flower Market — shopping vocabulary, colours, prices and descriptions
• Open Your Book — classroom objects, instructions and classroom language
• Days in the Netherlands — routines, common verbs and teacher actions
• At the Weekend — free time, weekend activities and regular habits

Who is this book for?

This book is for teachers, educators and school staff who have basic English knowledge and want practical support for communicating in international and professional situations.

It can be useful for:

• teachers preparing for an international training course
• staff participating in European projects and mobilities
• educators meeting colleagues from other countries
• basic English learners who prefer practical examples
• schools supporting staff before international activities
• learners who want to review useful everyday English

Learn English through real situations

Each unit connects language learning with a realistic context. Grammar and vocabulary are introduced as tools for communication, helping learners understand when and how to use them.

The activities can be completed individually, with a teacher or as part of a group preparing for an international project.

The goal is not perfect English.
The goal is clear communication.

Useful before and during European projects

The workbook can help participants prepare before travelling and continue practising during a course or mobility. Its topics support introductions, schedules, classroom communication, shopping, daily routines and informal conversations with international colleagues.
