A whole CELTA/TEFL course in one book
This book comprehensively distills the whole TEFL course in a book. (If it werent for requiring the certificate I'd recommend saving yourself some money by just buying the book!). An indespensible resource, especially for new EFL teachers.

Great help
I'm a uni student about to go to teach english in Austria as the third year of my German degree. I'm not going to get much formal training, so this book has given me a great deal of confidence and some great ideas and teaching techniques. It covers a lot of material, but is split into small chunks which are well written, easy to understand and very effective. Would recommend this to anyone about to go into TEFL without having formal qualifications. Excellent!

Great book
I wasnt sure about buying this book to begin with but after reading the first few pages, I realised I had made an excellent choice. The layout is good and it is easy to read and full of tips, advice and ideas on teaching. It practically covers a TEFL course in a few pages. Definately recommend it to anyone interested or going to work as a TEFL teacher.
