“The Unplanned Lesson helps new and seasoned teachers consider novel ways to approach our teaching, drawing upon education and other fields with practical suggestions. Central to this teacher resource is the authors’ catalogue of 50 structures, complete with visuals, that can be used in myriad ways to enhance interaction in language classes. Yet first read the foundational background, which allows readers to implement the structures in creative and thoughtful ways. Highly recommended!”
