Table Talk is conversation-based learning. This book is designed to help teachers create an atmosphere conducive to conversation by making the language spoken in class both comprehensible and engaging and build student confidence in answering questions. This will allow students to practice speaking English without the fear of being “on stage”. With “Table Talk!” students can spend time formulating their conversations, self-reflect and self-assess, have realistic conversations with peers of differing skill levels, and in the end, feel confident in their abilities. This will encourage participation by making sure everyone get a turn to use their ability in a way they are comfortable to. When something can be learned without effort, great effort has gone into its teaching. This book has done the hard work for you. Enjoy.
Write On is a three-book writing series designed for young EFL students. Throughout the series, students practice writing in a wide variety of styles such as narrative, descriptive, process, definition, expository, summary, review, compare/contrast, persuasive, and cause/effect paragraphs.
How do you know you are reaching your English proficiency goals with your students?
More importantly, how do your students know what and how they are learning?
