- This "Extra" section is in the manner of a student resource. It contains activities that they can turn to at any time, inside or outside of the lesson, in order to stimulate interaction between partners or groups. There are not too many activities here, but hopefully they will be interesting enough to encourage the students to continue in their own search for interesting activities.
