Teaching English as a Second Language represents a great opportunity for those looking for a new career, after graduating from University or a new career start. This review highlights three guides that can help you get started in this lucrative and rewarding career. Each of the guides focuses on a different aspect of your job: materials, methods, career development, and training.

For new teachers, though, I’d recommend purchasing the Teaching Tips as the content can be worked into a number of different books, approaches and styles. It’s easily the best way to get started in the classroom.

What do I do in the classroom? Help!

Of course, you may have the books, teaching ideas, and students. But what do you actually do in the classroom? Teaching Tips will help you go about actually teaching.

This guide provides practical guidance in the classroom that will help teachers create a more functional, more participative classroom environment with better results. Students will have a better experience, achieve more in personal and academic terms; while you will have less stress and fewer classroom management problems.

For new teachers, standing up in front of a classroom of eager face can be the most scary thing you ever do! With this kind of knowledge, you will find those first few weeks in the classroom easier. You will know what to do when students ask difficult questions, how to organize your classroom, and how to manage your time.

What should I teach ESL students?

Most students in Asia need lots of conversational practice to improve their English. A good textbook is essential to provide your students with a sense of where they are going, what they are doing, and what they can study at home. To make your classes lively, focused and meaningful for students, use textbooks that bring English to life for them. Why? Because they have spent countless hours in the traditional language classroom drilling! And they need lots of time to practice what they have memorized.

Compelling Conversations offers students a great deal of topics that they can relate to and talk about in the classroom. It’s ideal for learners who are reluctant to open their mouths, and for teachers who need inspiring topics for the classroom. The book helps to cut through to essential language, patterns and vocabulary that students will need. Then it provides lots of stimulating  questions to get your students talking more in class.

Towards the end of a class, provide feedback on students’ use of the language. The book is also weak on presenting and practising basic grammar patterns, so you’ll need a decent grammar book for your students.

So if you’re ready to give your students some great conversational practice, then click here to order the downloadable book Compelling Conversations for $24.95 with a 60-day 100% money back guarantee.

If you know what to teach, how to teach
and how to succeed, what more do you need?

Congratulations… you just got your first ESL job!
