TEFL 101: Principles, Approaches, Methods & Techniques

TEFL 101: Principles, Approaches, Methods & Techniques contains 101 mini-chapters covering every aspect of ESL teaching.

This book is the culmination of Luan Hanratty's work maintaining education standards in schools throughout China. It is a comprehensive catalogue of his knowledge, wit and wisdom related to the industry.

A good teacher should delight in taking fairly complex concepts and breaking them down so that anyone can understand. Thus TEFL 101 is written in a style that newly-hired teachers & laymen can appreciate and as such, it is also a reaction against the many teaching books that talk in abstract, convoluted and jargon-heavy ways. Instead, TEFL 101 is straightforward and relevant to the world of language teaching.

Sections: Classroom Management • Evolution of Methods • Classic Questions • Speech & Text • Grammar & Fluency • Phonology • Interactions • Psychology • Large Classes • Philosophical & Theoretical Considerations • Social Issues & Asian Considerations • Commercial & Professional Issues.
