À propos de cet ebook

This short introductory guide to using games in the ESL/EFL classroom gives some guiding principles for creating and selecting which games to use, and then gives three in-depth examples of games you can make for your own classroom, with photos of the games in use and a discussion of adaptations and variations.

While all of the example language is from English-teaching contexts, the games would work equally well to teach other languages.
