This digest presents ideas for teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in foreign countries where textbooks or other traditional instructional materials are limited or unavailable. The activities discussed emphasize student participation, require creativity, and encourage students to enjoy learning English. Four particular activities used by one EFL teacher in Czecho-Slovakia are described in detail. One activity uses music, another aims to teach cultural aspects of the linguistic culture being studied as well as the language, the third structures the EFL program around a specific activity requiring active participation by students, and the fourth focuses on vocabulary.
