Kinga Ostrowska SP20 Lublin

 

The teacher's book - "Games and activities", part the POLSKI IS COOL A1 series, is a great set of exercises to use when learning Polish as a foreign language. Games and Activities will work not only as a supplement to the material from the student's book, but also as separate communication tasks. What is important, in the teacher's book from the very beginning there are short but understandable instructions for each type of game. The variety of materials allows to choose the material not only for the language area being practiced at a given moment, but also for the specificity of the group of students being taught. And so, a game like Ships will be great for strategists who like competition, picture games like spot the differences will satisfy visual people focused on details, and colouring pages will find their enthusiasts among student-artists. To sum up: something for everyone. Take your pick! I highly recommend!

 

Kasia Kardasiewicz, TOGETHER Polish Language School, Warsaw

 

POLSKI JEST COOL A1, The teacher's book - Games and Activities is an interesting supplement to the methodological guide, although it can be used as an independent material to enrich each class. It contains detailed instructions for games and for activities and competitions which can be used for all lesson units. The materials have been prepared with the thought of facilitating the teacher's work, as they can be easily copied. Using the ideas in the book will never leave your class bored!
