Since 1979, teachers have trusted Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers to provide practical ideas, techniques and activities for the teaching of English and other languages. This book brings together 100 of the best-loved activities which have featured in the series. It begins by describing some general principles of what makes a good language teaching activity including clear learning outcomes, minimal material and preparation demands, versatility, and durability over time.
The activities are organised into six clear sections, covering speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar. The book includes new commentary from the authors and editors, and some ideas to help teachers adapt the activities for use in a range of contexts, including online teaching. The activities have been selected by current and former series editors Penny Ur and Scott Thornbury, based on recommendations by authors.
The collection as a whole represents the essence of good language teaching practice over nearly half a century, making it an essential resource for teachers looking for successful and easy-to-use classroom activities.
