This book brings together 100 of the best-loved activities, selected by current and former series editors Scott Thornbury and Penny Ur, based on recommendations by authors. 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 collection as a whole represents the essence of good language teaching practice over nearly half a century, making it an essential resource for teachers.
