Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers

by Alan Maley, Scott Thornbury (Consultant Editor)

Alan Maley's 50 Creative Activities is a collection of 50 classroom activities designed to promote creative language use. It is based on the premise that one of the major benefits of fostering creativity is the formation of enduring attitudes among both students and their teachers so that more critical and exploratory mind-sets are developed which are receptive of new ideas and alert to new ways of doing things.
