Taking the learner as the starting point for all language work, the book presents a range of ready-to-use materials which draw on the personal experiences, thoughts, feelings and opinions of the learner. The activities provide opportunities for learners to experience personally-meaningful content and to think about themselves in the target language. Thus learning a language becomes a means of exploring and articulating the self. These user-friendly materials will appeal to all teachers looking for alternatives to the often rather detached content of many text-based learning materials."--Publisher description ER -
