Description	This workshop focuses on communicative activities for the English language classroom. The activities are designed for use with different levels and different age groups. They require little extra preparation, are easily adaptable, do not rely on a great deal of resources or photocopying and can be integrated with existing coursebook material. The workshop is focussed on practice, though it does draw upon underlying theory related based around Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).
