About the book

101 EFL Activities for Teaching University Students

  • Practical topics designed for university classrooms
  • Activities structured for each stage of the semester
  • Teacher development tips and reflection exercises
  • Photocopiable worksheets included
  • Recommended readings and web resources for university teachers

The activities in this book relate to three major themes: the context of the university environment, group dynamics across a semester, and active learning — students learning through activity rather than listening to lectures.

The book is structured around the three main time periods of the semester: the beginning, mid-period, and end. It also contains teacher development tips and short exercises designed to help teachers reflect on their own teaching and professional development in a university setting.
