Getting the Buggers Into Languages

Following the winning formula of 'Getting the Buggers to Behave', this practical guide provides teachers with a range of practical strategies that can be used to motivate pupils of all ages, especially boys. Amanda Barton shows how learning languages can be transformed into a fun and exciting activity with the use of such simple aids as business cards, jokes, comics and red and yellow cards. Many teachers are particularly concerned with the problem of underachieving boys, and specific strategies to address this issue are provided in chapters 2 and 4. Brimming with useful tips and inspirational advice on every aspect of modern language teaching, this book will prove essential reading for every modern language teacher.
