This volume in the TESOL Classroom Practice Series describes how adults have specific learning goals that reflect their lives within a global society. Chapters highlight how teachers have the ability to transform language instruction from a mechanical learning experience to a dynamic interaction to assist learners in reaching real-world goals
This volume in the TESOL Classroom Practice Series asks one fundamental question, “How can teachers teach the students, not the book?” The response, given within Using Textbooks Effectively, is to move beyond the textbook as a separate entity and view it instead as part of the ESOL curriculum process and as a tool for student learning.
This volume in the TESOL Classroom Practice Series reflects how the TESOL field continues to experience increased valuing of experiential practitioner knowledge. A welcome result of this evolution has been the broadening of research perspectives. The 16 practitioner narratives in this volume are written by teacher–researchers who describe explorations into aspects of their own classroom practices. The findings shared by these practitioners shed light on contemporary ESOL classroom practice in teaching speaking and highlight some of the currents that flow through classroom practice at this time.
Alexandria, VA (December 2008)—Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Inc. (TESOL), introduces Classroom Management, the first volume of TESOL’s Classroom Practice Series.
Classroom Management offers a variety of frameworks for creating effective learning environments by fostering a multicultural awareness of different student frames of reference. It moves away from the business connotation of the word management and explains the teacher’s job as facilitator and conductor of an orchestra rather than a micromanager of a classroom. This volume acknowledges the wonderful range of diversity that language teachers now face in their classes and suggests ways that they can facilitate language learning and development rather than just manage it.
Recorded by TESOL member Rob Jenkins, this podcast presents an overview of the eight learner-centered standards included in this new publication.
Today’s English language teaching goes beyond the norms of English spoken and taught in native-English-speaking countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, or Australia. Increasingly, a variety of countries have established, formally or informally, a kind of English unique to their own populations, and English language teachers within those countries receive training in this particular variety of English.
