Format:Paperback
This book comprehensively distills the whole TEFL course in a book. (If it werent for requiring the certificate I'd recommend saving yourself some money by just buying the book!). An indespensible resource, especially for new EFL teachers.

Format:Paperback
I'm a uni student about to go to teach english in Austria as the third year of my German degree. I'm not going to get much formal training, so this book has given me a great deal of confidence and some great ideas and teaching techniques. It covers a lot of material, but is split into small chunks which are well written, easy to understand and very effective. Would recommend this to anyone about to go into TEFL without having formal qualifications. Excellent!

Format:Paperback
For anyone new to teaching, this book offers a solid grounding in general teaching practise, but generally a little less than one might wish on TEFL. However there are nuggets of useful information, and the book is far more reasonably priced than other guides - as such, it is very good value for money.
I would strongly recommend this for anyone new to teaching, or returning to teaching after a break/moving to teaching adults from teaching children. The book is divided into logical and helpful sections, beginning with generic teaching skills and moving through subject specific areas such as teaching grammar, pronunciation, speaking and listening and writing.
The book is highly prescriptive and makes no apologies for being so,setting useful tasks for trainees that offer a genuine chance to reflect on their own performance. If you are a highly experienced teacher there is a lot here that will remind you of what you know already. Still, it's always useful to be brought back to basics.

Far too much on teaching, nowhere near enough on English
I bought this book in the fond belief that it would help me teach English to students in a non-English speaking country, only to find that it's not about that at all. Read more
