One of the major problems I have encountered as a teacher of English is getting students to talk in
English amongst themselves in class. Full-class discussions afford relatively little time for individuals
to express themselves; pair and group work obviously provide much more, but then there is the
problem of devising effective and motivating activities that will keep students talking in the target
language without direct teacher involvement. The aim of this book is to provide a set of oral-fluency
activities for students at varying levels of proficiency, including activities suitable for both full-class and small-group work.
