Professional Perspectives: Humanising your Coursebook

Humanising your Coursebook - Activities to bring your classroom to life - provides a range of humanistic activities and techniques designed to enable teachers to diversify and experiment with whichever coursebook they are using.

The 95 activities require minimal preparation, put the student 'at centre stage', and recognise the importance of different learning styles. The book is divided into sections - icebreakers, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, speaking and 'looking backwards and forwards'.

The author cites Caleb Gattegno (silent way), Howard Gardner (multiple intelligences) and NLP as his guides.
