Recognizing the roles that challenge and confidence-building play in successful language learning, we have designed two types of activities. The first provides students with the grammatical forms, while the second requires students to produce them. Both types include cooperative task-solving and opinion-sharing activities. All are student-driven and require minimal teacher input, permitting the instructor to assume the role of observer and facilitator after introducing the activity." (Preface, p.
