Games provide meaningful and enjoyable language practice at all levels
and for all age groups. They can be used to practise any of the skills -
speaking, listening, reading and writing - at any stage of the learning
process, from controlled repetition through guided practice to free
expression. To enable teachers to select the activities most suitable
for their needs, precise information is provided, both at the beginning
of each game and in the summary chart, about the language content, the
skills to be practised, the level, the degree of teacher-control, and
the time and materials required. Clear advice is given on preparation
and classroom procedure, with many illustrations and examples. There is
a comprehensive index.
