This book has given me some useful ideas of ways to teach English Grammar that I can now apply. I am just starting on learning what it is like to teach English. There is so much about the language and its structure you take for granted as a native speaker. It is is interesting to get some valuable insights into aspects of this, and how they can be taught to people who are not native speakers through various games and activities.

Sách viết ngắn gọn, nêu rõ các bước thực hiện kèm hình minh hoạ cho mỗi game/ activity. 1 số game/ activity khá hữu ích, có thể lấy sử dụng trên lớp được, 1 số thì chưa phù hợp triển khai (mất thời gian/ HS phải di chuyển gây ồn ào/ lớp không có không gian đủ rộng để triển khai/ game chưa hấp dẫn/...). Tóm lại đọc để tham khảo thêm thì cũng oki.

Some of the games seem dated but they can be revived and refreshed with a bit of work.
