Are
these games only for ESL (English as a second language), or can they be
used for EFL as well?
The
games and activities are ideal for both ESL and EFL. You adapt the
level of difficulty to suit that of your students. The activities are
highly flexible and can be used to teach any vocabulary, grammar or
language.
There
are many games which are disguised language drills and these are most
useful for beginners and intermediates. There are also many activities
that target fluency. Most of these are for the intermediates and up but
there are also fluency activities for the beginners.

Can I use these ESL
games and activities with small groups as well as large classes?
Yes
absolutely. The flexible and adaptable nature of the activities means
you can use them in many teaching situations. Variants are given for
large classes and small groups. If you have a large class much of the
time you will have them split into smaller groups for maximum speaking
practise.
TOP
What
level of English are these games meant for?
There
are games for all levels. Many games can be used with all levels as the
teacher decides the level of difficulty. The drill type games are most
adapted to beginners and intermediates and can be used sparingly with
advanced speakers to iron out persistent errors. A number of the
fluency activities are best for intermediate to advanced only.

What if I am in a rural
area with few materials?
This
is
not a problem. You do need either access to internet to look at the
book on screen or access to a printer so you may print it. As
far
as materials go for using the games and activities you need a classroom
board, pens and paper for most of the games. Many activities require no
materials at all. Some games can be enhanced by the use of minor props
but these are usually optional.
TOP
Can I use these ideas
with teenagers too?
Yes
absolutely. The games can be used for any topics so the teacher can
choose topics the students are interested in. There are ideas through
out the book on how to engage students by having them select topics
themselves and incorporating these into the activities.
