LEARNING TO TEACH ENGLISH
By Peter Watkins
A practical methodology book for new teachers of
English
Learning to Teach English covers the essentials of classroom
management, teaching vocabulary, grammar, speaking, listening, reading,
writing and pronunciation.
There are also chapters on error correction, learner
independence, learner variation, planning (including several full lesson
plans), teaching in different contexts (ESOL, one-to-one, business and
young learners), and professional development.
The appendices contain a summary of terminology to describe
grammar, and also the form and main uses of many verb patterns.
Each chapter is followed by a comprehensive commentary.
Learning to Teach English is very practical. There are
many classroom activities that are described and analysed and can
therefore be used in the classroom. This helps new teachers to
build a stock of practical activities that they can exploit.
Learning to Teach English assumes little or no prior knowledge
and is written in clear and easy to understand terms.
