IntroductionThis book contains over 700 activities for EFL and ESOL students, and is intended to cover all the important topics, functions and structures from elementary toupper-intermediate level. The majority of activities included here are short and to the point, giving the teacher an opportunity to provide on-the-spot practice, either when the planned materials have proved insufficient, or when a changeof focus is needed. They can also be included in normal lesson planning. This isan invaluable resource for experienced and inexperienced teachers, and is unique in that the activities require no preparation. All that is needed is a quick look through the chosen activity to check the language involved and to estimate the time needed. 700 Classroom Activities is the ideal tool for teachers who appreciate the importance of reacting to students' needs, as and when they arise.

How to use this book700 Classroom Activities is divided into four sections: conversation, functions,grammar

and vocabulary. The activities within these sections are organised into categories that are arranged alphabetically, so that using the book is a simple matter of turning to the appropriate page for the topic in hand. There is an index at the back of this book, where the main references are in bold. There are also references to activities in which the topic is covered incidentally. The activities fall into four main categories: The teacher prompts students with questions, key words or phrases. Cues are written on the board. This can either be done while stude

nts are engaged in the previous task, or they can be elicited during the presentation. The activity is instigated by means of a short dictation, or through the allocation of roles to individuals or groups. A project is assigned to individual students and they make preparations outside the class for an activity to be carried out in the next lesson. The majority of activities are written as if spoken directly to the student. The language is not graded for lower levels because of the need to keep the instructions clear and concise for the teacher, so sometimesthey will need simplifying. Instructions to the teacher are written in brackets.There is sometimes more than one activity under each heading. The start of eachactivity is indicated with a 11--.

Grading The level of difficulty is suggested next to each activity heading withshading on the corresponding level icon (E for Elementary, P for Pre-intermediat

e, I for Intermediate and U+ for Upper-intermediate). The range is wider for conversation topics, where the teacher can usually grade the language according tothe class. It is more restricted for grammar topics, where structures are targeted at specific levels. The danger sign There are some topics in this book whichmay offend particularly sensitive or easily embarrassed students, and others which might lead to antagonism between students with potentially conflicting opinions. These topics have been marked.&. . It is at the teacher's discretion to decide whether or not these activities are appropriate.
