Organized by six key language acquisition skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening, vocabulary and pronunciation), each chapter features eight to twelve activities to engage students and facilitate language learning. The activities are tech-driven, yet flexible enough to adapt to the needs of different classroom settings. While some specific tools are discussed, the book shows teachers how to make the activities work with the technology they have available.

The book:

• Includes links to ready-to-use slide decks for every activity.
• Offers a knowledgeable and thoughtful introduction to using AI with language learners.
