Abstract

This teachers’ resource book revisits and extends many well-loved humanistic English language teaching activities, such as mime, describing things to a partner who cannot see them, or running dictations to mention just a few. The authors weave together a tapestry of movement and drama sequences, to ‘experience the music, poetry and drama of language’ as they say in their promotional information and the title of the book itself ‘Out of your Seats’ hints at this as we imagine learners actively moving around their classrooms while practising language. The materials have been developed based on knowledge gleaned from years of teaching experience and they have also been piloted in class by secondary English teachers in Suzhou, China
