Synopses & Reviews
Teach English is a teacher training course that develops practical skills in the teaching of English as a second language. It can be used in a variety of situations: in-service courses for teachers working at the secondary school level or in language institutes, in pre-service training of secondary school teachers, and as part of a refresher course in practical methodology for more experienced teachers. It is especially designed to meet the needs of teachers whose first language is not English, who teach large classes in rigid classrooms with few resources, who follow a set of syllabus and textbook, who have little control over course content or material.

"...an excellent resource...easy to follow..." TEA News
Review
'This is excellent and long overdue material for those about to start training teachers for the first time. It's also a rich source of practical ideas for practising teachers who could use the course as a self-administered refresher.' Stephen Keeler, Practical English Teacher
Review
'The self-reflection component is an important feature of the coursebook showing that despite the very practical classroom-based training element of the course, the author is, as well, concerned with the teacher's on-going professional development.' Ruth Wajnrub, The Teacher Trainer
Synopsis
Teach English is a teacher training course which develops practical skills in teaching English as a foreign language. It is designed for teachers whose first language is not English, who teach large classes in inflexible classrooms with few resources, follow a set syllabus and textbook, have little control over course content or choice of material, and who have little time for lesson planning or preparation. The course therefore concentrates on methods and techniques which do not require lengthy preparation of material, elaborate use of aids or equipment, or complex forms of classroom organisation.
