This book sets out some of the practical techniques Jan Pleuger has used with children of all ages and abilities, and most of the ideas can also be applied to adult learners. These practical strategies are aimed at reducing both pupil and teacher anxiety and provides a deep understanding of the psychological dynamics of the modern language classroom. The result is an enjoyable book, entertainingly written and bursting with tips for busy Modern Language teachers.

Jan Pleuger is a very experienced teacher who has taught all age groups, in all kinds of schools, using all the major courses and has condensed her years at the chalkface into this light-hearted look at the plight of Modern Language teachers today.  She hopes that the ideas in this book will brighten the lives of teacher and taught alike, and cheer and encourage Modern Language teachers everywhere.
