Each activity is clearly explained, together with a personal note from its author. This is a handbook for teachers of general language courses, or grammar, listening, speaking, writing, or reading courses. It is written for teachers both non-native and native speaking, and for teachers both novice and experienced. It will also be of interest to teacher-educators.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive examination of extensive reading shows how reading large quantities of books and other materials can provide students with essential practice in learning to read and help them develop a positive attitude towards reading, which is sometimes missed in second language classes. The authors first examine the cognitive and affective nature of reading and then offer a wealth of practical advice for implementing extensive reading with second language learners. Suggestions are provided for integrating extensive reading into the curriculum, establishing a library, selecting reading materials, and keeping records for purposes of evaluation. The text also describes a wide variety of classroom activities to supplement individualized silent reading. The information will be useful both for pre-service teachers and for teachers and administrators who want to improve the teaching of reading in their second language programs.

Book excerpt: Learning a foreign language truly is a wonderful experience that opens up doors into new worlds and enriches our lives beyond measure.

The good news is that the process of properly maintaining a foreign language is just a beautiful as learning one. In fact, I would argue that it can be even more enjoyable. This book is not just for people who have already learned a foreign language to a high level. It is packed full of useful tips and advice, and properly understanding this process while you are learning will help you set yourself up for a successful and sustainable, multilingual lifestyle.
