(0)
Increase students’ motivation and enhance your lessons with 50 communicative games and activities. Each game comes with instructions or examples, is low-prep and designed to engage upper-intermediate/advanced teen and adult learners. Fed up of endlessly searching for games and activities to review different aspects or grammar and get your students speaking? Search no more - the Tired TEFL Teacher has created this book so you’ll always have a relevant game or activity at your fingertips! Why Choose This Book? This book was created to help tired TEFL teachers across the globe help teen and adult students practise grammar and vocabulary in a communicative and meaningful way. While teens and adults love games in the ESL classroom just as much as children, there are relatively few ‘print and play’ resources for these learners, particularly for teens and adults at intermediate-advanced levels. The games and activities in this book will help to keep your students challenged and engaged as they review and practise their knowledge of the English language while improving their communication skills. They include relevant themes and ideas and often a touch of humour, something proven to enhance the learning process. The variety of games and activities featured mean that the book can be used several times with the same group without the students losing interest. The varying levels of difficulty also mean that the book is a great resource for students from B1 to C1 on the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Say goodbye to frantically searching for a fun activity to reinforce the work you’ve been doing in class and say hello to 50 fun games and activities that are ready to print and play! Includes: Battleships Board Games Conversation Cards Escape Room-Style Activity Find someone who… and much, much more!
