Who are these books for?
low/mid Intermediate to advanced classes.
How does it work?
Each activity has indications of: minimum level, subject, and related grammar/vocabulary points.
What's new?
The accompanying listening exercises are downloadable for free from here. The speakers in the listening exercises include people of different ages and cultural backgrounds, offering the learner exposure to a wide variety of native and non-native accents.
What preparation is involved for the teacher?
In most exercises, no preparation is required either by the teacher or students. A few exercises may require photocopying, but the majority can simply be explained and/or dictated. There is a short Teacher’s Introduction that also contains ideas for developing other warm up activities.
What's the duration of a typical exercise?
This depends on the students' level of interest and involvement. Most exercises can be used as 10-minute warm ups or lesson fillers, others could potentially develop into full-blown 60-minute discussions.
A teacher’s book containing 100 warm up activities, either invented by the authors or adapted from training manuals and books (originally intended for native speakers).
