• short, flexible activities: most activities take about 20 minutes, and they can easily fit into any phase of an English lesson
• interactive activities: the emphasis is on spoken interaction, both controlled and free
• student-centred: as most activities are self-checking, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning
• varied activity techniques include: information-exchange, gap-filling, guessing, matching, sorting and reordering, etc.
• aspects of language covered include: verb tenses, verb patterns, question formation, phrasal verbs, comparison, lexis, collocation, spelling, pronunciation and stress
• comprehensive, easy-to-use index: activities are grouped alphabetically according to target language points and topics, and also classified under language areas (grammar, punctuation and spelling, vocabulary, reading and oral interaction)
