Laughing Matters is a resource book dealing with humour in the language classroom. It provides over 120 activities which will infect some light-hearted fun into lessons whilst still being grounded in respected language learning theory. Jokes provide teachers with a rich resource of patterned language use and cultural knowledge. Using humour in the classroom is also a very effective way to help students remember key concepts and structures. This book provides teachers with useful background information on humour. There is also step-by-step guidance on how to carry out the activities in the classroom and suggestions for further work. Laughing Matters will be of particular interest to teachers who are non-native speakers and may appreciate some confidence building before using humour in the language classroom.
