Practical and Easy to Use

This book offers practical suggestions for teaching in the classroom that is both helpful to the novice teacher as well as the "tired" more experienced one. The index at the end of the book helps teachers to focus in on specific activites for different language points. These activities can supplement and highlight the regular curriculum. The activities clearly define the popualtion that they can be used with, the size of the groups, materials needed, etc. I have recommended it to my students in my educational methods courses and have had my teachers extol the way in which it helps them to round out their lessons. A worthwhile addition to one's professional library.
