Essential for English Teachers everywhere
I am a student of English Tecahing in Tel-Aviv University. I found this book a wonderful resource of activities and fun to activate pupils in a stress-free environment. The ideas in the book are a source of inspiration for everyone. I intend to use it in my classroom and I wish for more books like that.

This a great manual for teachers in a foreign language class,the author mentions a lot of facts and short stories occurring in a classroom that a teacher can't really miss,it reveals the secret skill of a good teacher : empathy
You will find out that "affective education is effective"

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.
