This is an activity book for English language teachers. 52 asks the question: can one new teaching idea per week make a difference? The authors use radical texts, subversive images and lateral thinking to suggest new ways of doing things inside the classroom and to prompt teachers and learners to think differently about the world outside the classroom.
The book contains 52 activities that fit loosely into the following categories.
Disruptions – ways of subtly disrupting the class dynamic to challenge existing power structures and explore alternatives
Discussions – prompts and stimuli for conversations with a difference
Images – subversive spoof ads from the media foundation Adbusters
Language – activities critically exploring prejudice in language, slogans, social media and even English for protest signs
Action – activities to prompt and empower your students to take action outside the classroom
Scenarios – tired of the same old business English situations? Here we explore real-life functional language with a twist!
52 is written by Lindsay Clandfield and Luke Meddings, co-founders of the round - an independent collective of authors in language education materials.
