Ideas in Action: Activities for Inclusive Language Teaching offers language teachers tools and techniques to embrace and harness the diversity that is inherent in any group of learners. These activities will enable both teachers and learners to recognise and break down barriers to learning in the language classroom, allowing each individual to be their unique and authentic selves, as part of the group. This book is primarily intended for the general adult and teenage classroom, but the ideas can be adapted for most language teaching situations.
