Reviews, promotion for Provoking Thought

My second book, Provoking Thought, was published in late 2009. It's a collection of over 90 practical activities for language teaching. The chapters cover five topics: thinking, memory, creativity, critical thinking, and organizing ideas on paper.

If you'd like to learn a little bit more, here are a few related articles and reviews:

Humanising Language Teaching published a book preview in 2009, which introduces the book and contains 6 sample activities.

ELT Weekly chose Provoking Thought as its "Book of the Month" in February.

It's Magazine gave a number of its authors a chance to introduce their latest works in an article titled "Getting Published". This article features several new ELT titles including Provoking Thought.

Developingteachers.com has "Sharing Thoughts in the Language Classroom", an article related to the main theme of Provoking Thought.

Finally, Hotchpotchenglish.com published this review a few days ago.

Okay, that's probably enough self-promotion for today. Watch this space for more reviews and articles.

ELT Weekly

Recently I've discovered a new periodical for ESL/EFL teachers. It's called ELT Weekly, and it's described as "India's first weekly ELT e-newsletter".

Some interesting content, including articles, ELT news and events and weekly features, such as book of the week, ELT blog of the week, and even ELT cartoon of the week.

This week's edition features a new article I wrote, titled "A Creative Approach to Lesson Planning". You can see the article here:
