Does this idea sound familiar? It is! In response to the demand for another book like the popular original Zero Prep, only geared to the needs of beginning language students, the authors have created this dynamic second title! Whether your beginning students are eager from the start, or reluctant at first, you'll find activities for helping you create wonderful lessons without exhausting yourself. As beginners cannot yet create new language, but they can re-create and reformulate language that they encounter, these activities give many ways to provide language input, including routines for using readings, dictations, pictures, actions, and songs to convey meaning. Plus you'll find activities to help students get to know each other, find their own errors, and take charge of their own learning. Perfect for group or individual work, this volume is another must-have in your library of resources.
