Second Language Learning

I like this, I teach ELL and I wanted some new cooperative learning structures I could use. I liked the book, but if you are familiar with Kagan a lot of the structures presented you will already know. I was hoping for some new ideas. It is a good book though and it is well laid out.

There are some good activities in the book, but it certainly doesn't live up to the glowing "Foreward" that Spencer Kagan wrote for it. Many of the ideas are found in other teacher resource books, so they are hardly unique to Kagan. Note that the book is only 134 pages, and many of those pages are black line masters of things like articles of clothing, which are readily available elsewhere. I purchased a used copy, but I don't think it's worth the 29.00 price for a new copy.

Your ESL and foreign language students will be talking right away! Students love this rich array of cooperative learning games, lessons, and activities. You will promote language acquisition through a communicative approach. The book includes sections on: co-op structures, social roles, getting to know you, making words mine, guided grammar experiences, writing skills, and lesson designs.

Great ideas for use in the MFL classroom - some techniques I already use but just call them something different! Good to dip into when you need some inspiration

Me ha gustado mucho.Prueba de ello es que me lo he leído en 2 tardes. Da tantas ideas que quieres saber más y más.Aunque está enfocado al aprendizaje de una segunda lengua, las estructuras pueden usarse en cualquier otra asignatura.

Great source of ideas for any language teacher! I love the cooperative approach of all of them and the fact that they apply to any language, so all of them work great for my English, spanish and French courses! A must-have!
