Customer Reviews

Up to date and VERY informative!
Jeremy Harmer has been prominent in the EFL industry for many years. This latest version of his classic 'The Practice of English Language Teaching' is very informative and full of all the neccessary aspects of the EFL industry. It also includes comments on some very modern methods and techniques, such as DOGME EFL, interactive whiteboards and cuisinere rods.

Harmer is very easy to read and is not heavy like some of the earlier English language writers. The DVD is a welcome edition, and though it really doesn't offer anything new it is still enlightening to watch other teachers teach in a real-life classroom situation.

Although, bearing the same title as the 3 previous versions, it is pretty much a whole new book...with a lot of new chapters. So if you do have an older edition, it is still highly recommended to update your library with this one.

The Practice of English Language Teaching (4th Edition) is recommended for any teachers wanting to develop their teaching techniques or indeed wanting to take the DELTA course. It is probably too detailed and in depth for CELTA trainees or newly qualified EFL teachers.
