Format:Paperback
This book is a good basis for anyone starting off on a TEFL career and/or studying for the TEFL certificate. The chapters are simply written and run through the basic approach to teaching english. It gives a good introduction but is really a one-off read and you are unlikely to use it as a reference book during your career.

Format:Paperback
This is a good basic introduction but I can't rate this any higher than three stars because there is little advice within this book on practical teaching skills which I would have expected from the title. The text is somewhat turgid but is improved by the helpful use of different typography to highlight section headings and important ideas raised in each chapter. The practical examples used are quite helpful. A useful complementary text to this book is Jim Scrivener's 'Learning Teaching' which has much more to say on the practical issues of teaching a class.

Format:Paperback
I read this in preparation for CELTA and subsequently when reviewing what I was doing in my classes. Useful. NB Much more practical than Harmer's 'The Practice of English Teaching', which is a dreadful book...

How to teach English
The DVD which comes with the book, is really good, easy to use, with short sections which you can use when you have little time to read the whole book.

OK
I haven't read many books about teaching English. Actually, I've looked for a good book but none seems to attract me much. Maybe one day I'll write a book. Read more

Advice for future teachers
this book is actually a classic, recommended by Celta and Tefl training centres, as pre course reading.

Perfectly new, I'm pleased
The book reached me within a few days, it seems brand new, just as expected. Nothing more to add, easy transaction:)

Only a decent introduction
This book is a good introduction but does not go into enough depth of detail to be able to be useful. Read more

Bad
I bought this book when I started teaching six years ago because it was on my CELTA course reading list. Unfortunately it has never been of any use to me in the classroom. Read more

Especially great for home study
I thought this book was very good. The DVD is great if you are studying by correspondence course. It is good to learn about class room scenarios and how to handle situations.

This is NOT an essential as so many courses will tell you.
This is a very overated book,
For anyone with a basic command of the English language, much of the content is unnecessary. Read more
