Product Description

Book Description
Learning Teaching has been one of the most successful guides to English since it was first published in 1994. Not only a superb textbook for initial training courses, it is also a no-nonsense handbook for practising ELT teachers, helping you to succeed from class to class, from week to week and from year to year.

This book will help you to deepen your understanding of what happens – and of what is possible – in the language classroom. But Jim Scrivener’s approach is not merely theoretical: Learning Teaching is packed with practical – and immediately useable – activities.

In this brand new edition, the text has been revised and extended to provide an even richer resource and to take account of recent changes in thinking about ELT. In particular, it includes more detailed coverage of lexical issues.

About the Author
Jim Scrivener is an English language tutor who also tutors on initial training, Diploma and specialist teacher development programmes. He has taught and trained in many countries, including Georgia, Hungary, Kenya, Romania, Russia and the UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars For CELTA, Trinity and TEFL courses., 29 Dec 2006
By Ross Terelle - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent introduction to the field of EFL. Jim Scrivener is a practical professional who has written (updated) a book which deals with the EFL class room, methods that should be considered and practical tips to help novice teachers to orient themselves to the challenges of modern language teaching. Consequently, it is directed towards those with little or no experience, but is useful for veteran teachers as well.

Scrivener, in his chapter on error correction, explains how to use one's fingers to address errors made by the student, while helping others at the same time. It is accompanied by diagrams, and is fairly easy to understand; I found it to be one of the most helpful techniques when teaching English. Scrivener likewise has numerous chapters dealing with every aspect of the EFL class room.

In case you are wondering, I found Scrivener to be the most "to the point" book whilst completing my course in EFL. If you only decide to buy a grammar reference book, then this pedagogy manual must accompany it. A true necessity for CELTA, Trinity or any other TEFL course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scrivenener Learning Teaching , 12 Dec 2007
By IP Lucas (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This has been a great resource book during my training as an EFL teacher. It contains the essential information a trainee needs to know for any TESOL/TEFL course. e.g. Classroom activities, aims, classroom management, planning lessons, grammar, phonology and lexis content. An essential resource book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for any new ELT teacher or CELTA recruit, 24 May 2009
By G. R. STANDISH (Torun, Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Before tackling the CELTA course, it is worthwhile to reading this as it really helps to introduce the world of ELT teaching to the complete novice. However, those wanting to take the DELTA may prefer more detailed books such as those by Penny Ur and Jeremy Harmer.
