Jun 3, 2011 · I was remided of course books for very young learners while reading this post. If you use a couse book (and to be honest, it can be nice for young learners to have a book with good visuals to look at in class and at home) with pre-school or early primary learners, the teacher’s book can be essential, whether you are in your first year of teaching or your twentieth!

Teacher’s books are written for teachers – obviously. But what does that mean? Can one book really be a useful tool for a relatively new CELTA moving into her first EAP job and for the highly experienced MA-TESOL-toting EFL veteran? I’d like to look at three functions that any reasonable teacher’s book (TB) can be expected to perform, and in doing ...
Most teachers occasionally find themselves walking into a class with no lesson plan. The reasons for this vary from the perfectly innocent (you’ve been asked at the last minute to cover for a colleague) to the less defensible (you stayed out with your friends all night rather than prepare your lesson, and you’ve come straight to work without going ...
Thankfully, the majority of classes are run with at least some preparation. For these cases, a good teacher’s guide usually provides optional activities and additional tasks beyond those that appear in the students’ book. This is where the TB begins to be equally useful to both relatively new teachers and to highly experienced ones. In some cases, ...
The British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes describes the ideal EAP teacher in their Competency Framework for Teachers of English for Academic Purposes.

Nov 11, 2016 · The idea of having Teachers books on pdf, so that we could print out the pages as we need them, as suggested by Penny Roux, is a great one. And I expect it’s down to page layout and cost, but it is so frustrating to have to keep so many fingers in a book – say you are on page 10 – but then student A has to turn to page 140 for their part of the lesson, while student B has to turn to pay ...
- They provide structure. One struggle at times this year has been putting together a coherent course. I have had plenty of short-term goals based on diagnostic tasks such as writing assignments or feedback from subject teachers, but I am conscious of the fact that overall my courses at times lack flow.
- They have plenty of optional extras. Of course, the material within the main pages of a unit may not be sufficient to facilitate understanding for every student.
- They save time. Taking a moment for a selfish thought, this is the main aspect I miss at present. As mentioned in my February post, finding time to stay on top of things has been a challenge at times this year and part of that comes from having to create my own materials from scratch.
- The materials have been professionally produced and edited. I have moved on from my early hand-made efforts to become quite adept at designing worksheets and other materials now using a variety of digital applications.

Jun 14, 2023 · Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but I LOVE books about the craft of teaching. So, while the summers are most definitely filled with some YA romcoms and regency era romances, I also enjoy squeezing in a teacher text or two to chew on before the new year.
