The Ultimate Esl Teaching Manual ― No Textbooks, Minimal Equipment Just Fantastic Lessons Anywhere

The Ultimate ESL Teaching Manual is a complete English teaching system designed so that any native speaker (with TEFL experience or not) can pick up the book and start teaching. Early in my career I was fortunate to work for an academy that had freed their classes from textbooks, projectors or any other unnecessary equipment. Instead teachers taught all grammar and vocabulary through oral drills and speaking activities in a method that mimics how students learnt their native languages as children but in a condensed form.Students make rapid progress with the constant speaking practice and lessons are more creative for the teacher as they have the freedom to decide what they want to teach and how.Classes are simple, effective and take less time to prepare as there are no handouts to worry about, exercises to mark or any of the other work that comes with traditional ESL teaching. The Ultimate ESL Teaching Manual is a complete guide to all the techniques I have learnt and developed over my years teaching the no-textbook method.It includes lesson plans, drills and speaking activities for every grammar point – yes, every grammar point even the ones that go way beyond what you would find at an average academy (it’s a big book). It also contains methodology, games, vocabulary sets and a whole host of other stuff to make your classes special.What the book offers: o Cut down on preparation time with lesson plans on how to teach every grammar point from beginners to advanced. o Never run short of ideas with over 60 vocabulary sets and techniques on how to practice them. o Keep your students talking with roleplays, games and other speaking activities o Liven up your class with visual materials for role plays and grammar practice to get your students talking. o Help your students master the difficult word order of questions with dedicated question practice. o Hand out interesting homework assignments with a list of homework resource pages. o Stay ahead with techniques on how to get the most out of your students.
