Language Teaching Games and Contests (Teachers' Library)

I am not a teacher so have not put the book to use. I bought it to give me some idea of how to teach a language is undertaken as I am taking a TEFL course in a few weeks and shall be going to Italy and staying with a family whose children want to speak English better.
Unfortunatly the book is a very old print 1980, and the cover is nothing like the attractive one as shown on Amazon, I suppose the contents are the same though.
From what I can see it seems a good little book and is in good condition for a second hand one although the pages are brownish with age.

This book is invaluable in giving suggestions on how to make your language lessons fun. It covers all aspects of language learning from vocabulary to pronunciation, writing, reading and listening.
Each game is detailed giving important indicators of the age group it is appropriate for as well as the language level. Variations are also offered to prevent the game from becoming tedious and to tailor the game to the different pupil learning abilities.
The suggested games and contests are actually meant to be played either in pairs or groups. This guarantees that all pupils participate and to encourage less able or more shy pupils to join in.
