 This series offers activities which can be used as the basis for lessons or as a departure for classroom development and discussion. Each book contains an introduction and includes suggestions for variations and follow-up work. This is a collection of language "recipes" from a number of different authors. The book aims to be a source of information for teachers looking for learner-centred activities. All the ideas have developed out of classroom experience and have been contributed by practising language teachers and deal with everything from vocabulary to visuals and testing. All the activities represent the view that students learn better if what they do in the classroom is based on the reality and experience of life. The activities cover all four skills and focus on accuracy in pronunciation and grammar. Most activities work well in multi-lingual or mono-lingual groups; with large or small classes, and with students of all age groups.
