商品簡介
Teach Beginning ESL/EFL and Survive! is the book the author wishes she had had at the beginning of her ESL/EFL career. It was written for teachers of beginning ESL/EFL who do not have experience or ESL training. It is intended to be flexible and adaptable enough to supplement a required text. A teacher without a text, using this book and choosing one of the textbooks recommended in it, can teach a complete one-semester course for beginners in almost any situation and learn to teach ESL/EFL at the same time. The manual has 80 detailed lesson plans, starting with numbers and ending with polite requests. It includes irregular past verbs and easy helper verbs like "can" and "will." With an additional student textbook for reading and writing practice, the manual should provide material for at least 160 class hours. The manual recommends specific texts for secondary schools, adult education, volunteer classes, and students with previous ESL experience. It also recommends other books worth buying for new ESL teachers and describes how to use them. Each plan contains a vocabulary list, an agenda, and a list of materials necessary for the day. Oral routines for listening and speaking practice use classroom objects and easily available materials. Grammar is explained through short rules and simple graphs, with lots of examples and teacher-class interaction. New teachers will learn common basic ESL techniques in the context of each lesson. Each lesson plan notes specific pages in the recommended textbooks which reinforce the day's topic with readings, dialogues, pictures, written grammar exercises and listening practice.
