Synopsis

Communication Activities for the Classroom In the Student's Book, students learn how to do things with English: how to persuade a friend, how to apologize, how to complain, and so on. After each function is presented, students learn to understand a variety of ways to express it, and then some ways to perform it themselves. There are teacher-controlled exercises, as well as pair and small-group work involving role plays, problem solving tasks, and discussions. The communication activities are particularly useful in developing conversational skills and fluency. Writing skills are also practiced in each unit.

Review:

'Students ... engage in [the communication activities] with enthusiasm, their interest piqued and their judgement satisfied that the exercises are useful. The words of one student at the completion of an exercise - It is important. I love it - constitute a persuasive recommendation for the use of this lively text in the classroom.' Modern Language Journal

'The authors deserve credit for having produced a good tape and well-organized, creative materials which utilize effective methods of stimulating the kind of communication in the classroom which the students can transfer to their real-life situations.' TESL Canada Journal
