4.0 out of 5 stars
Good tool for teachers,
This review is from: FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER'S GUIDE TO ACTIVE LEARNING (Paperback)
I am a first year Spanish teacher in an alternative certification program and purchased this book looking for ideas. There is so much in this book that it was overwhelming. There are literally chapters and chapters full of things I have been able to use in my classroom, as well as some useful theoretical information that backs up the more practical suggestions. It doesn't get 5 stars because culture is relegated to a single short chapter and is largely reduced to heros and holidays. There is also not much information about modification for and accomodation of special needs. But, overall, I highly recommend this to new foreign language teachers.

A good resource for Foreign Language Teachers,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER'S GUIDE TO ACTIVE LEARNING (Paperback)
This book is very good especially if you have been searching for resource materials specifically for Foreign Language Teachers. I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase as the book provides ideas for incorporating strategies and activities based on multiple intelligences and aspects of brain research. I bought this with another one of Blaz's books "Differentiated Instruction - A guide for Foreign Language Teachers" which is my absolute favourite. Try them both and you will not regret it. Your classes will be more student-centered and your students will relish learning.
