Speaking Games

From the author of Role Plays for Today and Teamwork, Speaking Games is a new photocopiable resource book of 50 speaking games for teachers of English to use in class with both adult and teenage learners at levels B1-C1. It provides teachers with original, effective and enjoyable activities that focus on developing the learners’ ability to use language confidently in real-world situations.
