This is a practical and highly useful toolkit for language teachers. Andy’s concise explanations make this accessible to novice teachers aiming to plan lessons quickly, but it is equally useful for experienced colleagues looking to expand their repertoire.
I signpost teachers almost weekly to Andy’s previous two books, The Super Quick Guides. I expect this toolkit will also frequently be pulled from my shelf to show to colleagues.
Andy packs this toolkit with time savers including links to resource websites and guidance on how to use generative AI to produce effective learning resources.
This toolkit also seems useful for teachers beyond language disciplines. Many activities can easily be used or adapted for icebreakers, to build rapport among learners, or to support learners in exploring the foundational concepts of various disciplines.
