Five-Minute Activities is an invaluable source of ideas for language
teachers. It contains resources of over 130 short activities for the
language classroom: some are well-tried favourites clearly restated,
others are new ideas or variations. Teachers will find activities which
can be used to: * help learners to learn or practise particular aspects
of language * help students and teacher to get to know each other *
provide a smooth transition between two major parts of a lesson *
supplement a coursebook * introduce or round off lessons. The
activities are designed to combine learning value with interest and
enjoyment. Most of them can be adapted to suit classes of different
levels of ability, and in many cases there are additional suggestions
for variations or extensions of the basic activity. Almost all the
activities can be student-led.
