2. Textbook Activities: Making Them Work for You:
   In this workshop, Rebecca Arthur will demonstrate a variety of ways to adapt textbook activities to better suit the EFL learners in your classroom. Although based on activities for false beginners, these adaptations are suitable for almost any level.
