The majority of activities are short and to the point, giving the teacher an opportunity to provide on-the-spot practice. Requiring no preparation, they can also be included in normal lesson planning. All that is needed is a quick look through the chosen activity to check the language involved and to estimate the time needed. 700 Classroom Activities is the ideal tool for teachers who appreciate the importance of reacting to students’ needs, as and when they arise.

700 Classroom Activities is divided into four sections: conversation, functions, grammar and vocabulary. The activities within these sections are organised into categories that are arranged alphabetically.

The activity types fall into four main categories:
- The teacher prompts students with questions, key words or phrases.
- Cues are written on the board. This can either be done while students are engaged in the previous task, or they can be elicited during the presentation.
- The activity is instigated by means of a short dictation, or through the allocation of roles to individuals or groups.
- A project is assigned to individual students and they make preparations outside the class for an activity to be carried out in the next lesson.

Key benefits:
- The activities are written in clear English, with student-friendly instructions for the teacher to use.
- None of the activities require photocopying.
- The level of difficulty is suggested next to each activity heading with shading on the corresponding level icon.
- Any sensitive topics or activities in the book which may offend easily-embarrassed students have been marked.
- There are also plenty of internet-based projects.
