Synopsis

This is the only book to cover this important topic. Now, teachers at all levels can be sure of why, how, when to have students repeat, even when not to insist on it. A brief history of drilling is followed by examples of bad and good drilling, a seven-point rationale, demonstrations of how to drill according to communicative language teaching principles, and nine interesting activities. Context is key, and this maxim resonates throughout, especially in the author’s exhortations to draw on the whiteboard (WB) – including the online WB – with light-hearted examples and accompanying classroom discourse. Headings and visuals in colour. This is another compact yet concise work in the author’s typically informal and entertaining style.
