1. To run the presentation, roll the wheel on your mouse one notch or click the left button once. If you have a white board, click on it once.
2. If you use the voiced version a recording of the item to learn will be heard when the relevant visual stimuli appears.
3. The new vocabulary will appear when you turn the mouse wheel one more notch. The vocabulary will remain on the screen when you pass to the next item. If you roll the wheel backward, you will see the items disappearing from the screen one by one. It is useful if you want to practice memorisation of the items or/and depending on the ability taught.
4. Some presentations contain several slides. It is up to the teacher to split the lesson to make it relevant to the ability of the group.
5. Most lessons present all, or most, of the vocabulary, on a single slide. This can be left on the board during role play as a reminder.

1. Most lessons are accompanied by a cue card sheet which you need to download and print. You can choose to print only the pictures or the pictures with the vocabulary sheet at the back, depending on the ability taught.
2. To do so, first print the pictures sheet first on its own, then put it back into the feed tray of your printer and choose to print page two only. The vocabulary should appear exactly at the back of each picture.
3. If possible, print off the cue cards with a colour printer, laminate and then cut out the cue cards.
4. The cue cards can be used in many ways proper to modern language role play practice.
   • Asking and replying questions with several partners (swapping cards every time)
   • Use them as a card deck when appropriate (daily routine for instance)
   • Use 2 cards when the role play requires more than one brief exchange (ie colour coded cards with likes/dislikes).
