4.0 out of 5 stars A good all rounder for anyone starting off on a TEFL career, 13 Mar 2002
By A Customer
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction, 1 Oct 2008
This review is from: How to Teach English: An Introduction to the Practice of English Language Teaching (2nd Edition) (With DVD) (How To Series) (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.

3.0 out of 5 stars useful introduction, 11 Nov 2007
By Cole Davis (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars 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

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
Published 3 months ago by Petite Fleur

1.0 out of 5 stars 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
