Customer Reviews
An excellent guide to a balanced activities approach
Alongside a guide to grammar and usage, this should cover the vast majority of the material of a TESOL course. As well as containing overviews of teaching approaches and discussion of current issues, the book is a practical guide to a balanced activities approach to teaching with an emphasis on the communicative approach. I came across this book as a required text on an intensive TESOL course. Reading half the book before the course gave me a real head start.
A great book is now even better!
This is easily the best all-round A-Z of how to teach English as a Foreign Language. Already a classic before this edition, the new version is thoroughly up-to-date and more rational in its organisation. A real boon to teachers, trainers and other ELT professionals.
First class for a TEFL course
I read this book in its entirety before completing a TEFL course and found it invaluable. It covers everything from intonation through to the use of audio-visual equipment in class.
Whilst I did find some of the information plain common sense it is still a 'must read' to get a foot up in the world of TEFL/TESOL
