ESL/EFL: The Emergency English Teacher

Więcej o książce

The Emergency English Teacher offers a comprehensive collection of activities and games suitable for any ESL/EFL classroom, catering to all age groups and ability levels—from young beginners to competent speakers. Each activity is designed to enhance students' language skills while ensuring they are enjoyable enough for frequent repetition. Key benefits for teachers include: - **No Preparation/Low Preparation**: Activities require little to no photocopying or extensive prep time. Just read the instructions and you're ready to go! - **Quick Setup**: Each activity includes a setup time, allowing for quick referencing during unexpected lesson gaps. The book emphasizes two overarching themes: - **Student Empowerment**: After initial guidance, many activities can be handed over to students for them to plan and run, promoting the functional use of English in real contexts rather than just textbook scenarios. - **Teacher Monitoring**: By stepping back during student-led activities, teachers can closely observe how students communicate in English. This monitoring enables teachers to assess language use, identify areas for error correction, and recognize students' limits, informing future lesson planning. Overall, this resource is invaluable for fostering an engaging and effective learning environment.
