The CELTA Course Trainee Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I paid for this book because I read a previous review that said if I didn't take good notes, this would help me remember the content of the celta course. That is false. The book address TEFL generalisms but does not help with what is really important to pass the CELTA course. You have to learn the CELTA terminology and structure by heart if you want to pass. This book doesn't address CCQs, ICQs, ECDB, and all the other torturous acronyms involved in this course (aside from a glossary in the back). This book is irrelevant to passing and reviewing the CELTA course.

How To Teach English (with DVD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is an excellent buy. It has hints and tips to help with facing the hurdles of being a trainee such as difficult lessons (and students) to actual class prep work. It is well set out and has a depth to it that makes even the most complex understandable. There are many 'sample' teaching methods to study as well as important self-test sections. A great pal to turn to in moments of despair!

English for Specific Purposes (Cambridge Language Teaching Library) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Though written in 1987, this book remains relevant for the ESP teacher and/or material designer. The Kindle edition, however, doesn't do the trick. The book has many figures and sample materials which are essential for the comprehension of the text. And it seems that all Amazon did was scan them. We can zoom in, and they'll still be blurred or too small. So if you're interested in ESP, do read this book, just not the Kindle edition.

English for Specific Purposes offers the teacher a new perspective on this important field. The main concern is effective learning and how this can best be achieved in ESP courses. The authors discuss the evolution of ESP and its position today; the role of the ESP teacher; course design; syllabuses; materials; teaching methods, and evaluation procedures. It will be of interest to all teachers who are concerned with ESP. Those who are new to the field will find it a thorough, practical introduction while those with more extensive experience will find its approach both stimulating and innovative.
