Within these pages, you will find a diverse range of speaking and writing activities for fluency practice. In addition, this book describes the essential qualities of effective speaking and writing activities and shows how they fit into a successful lesson. -----\"This book is truly a must-have for any language teachers keen on fostering spoken and written fluency in a fun and engaging way across the whole age and ability spectrum. This little masterpiece offers a wide range of ingenious low prep \/ high impact tasks that fuel creativity whilst challenging the learner in a principled way. Part A, in which the authors discuss their sound pedagogic approach to promoting creative output in the oral and written medium, is a real gem of wisdom and clarity which pre-service and novice teachers will particularly benefit from.
