"This is an absolute must-buy for any foreign language teacher. The ideas for games and assessments are endless and can be adapted for any classroom and any group of students. The activities really afford teachers the opportunity to make personal changes so projects can really be your own. Absolutely necessary for all FL teachers, especially new ones!
