100 Great EFL Games: Exciting Language Games for Young Learners Paperback – May 31, 2011

I am happy with this book so far. The strength of this little book, and it is smaller than it's on-line picture looks like, is that it is a very practical, classroom tested book of games by an EPIK (English Program in Korea) Guest English Teacher (GET) in South Korea. Some of the games I already knew but there were others I did not and they gave me further ideas how to tailor some games for my own students, who have loved the book so far. The weakness of this book, so so speak, is that it is not a theorectical account of why and how games work or do not work. For that, I recommend Guy Cook's book, "Language Play, Language Learning (OUP). I can't help myself, but I would like to borrow a line from Rocky and say, "Yo, Adrian...Thanks!"

I bought this as I'm heading to Russia next month to teach children English. So far I've picked up some really useful ideas, whether or not they'll be successful remains to be seen.

I bought this book for my son who is working in Thailand as an EFL Teacher, so his feedback is that he has found this book very useful when preparing his lesson plans, and a lot of the games and activities can be adapted to meet the mixed abilities of the different groups he is teaching, or adjusted to fit in with the different themes he has been asked to teach.

It did give me a couple ideas but unfortunately I bought the wrong book, My pupils are too young. Good book for Primary onwards.

great book with fresh ideas...

the book was what I had expected,perhaps I thought it would be bigger but there are a lot of ideas to use with classes of italian children learning english
