Teaching English - Easy Reading

This is a great book to add to your teaching library. At first I wasn't sure but it has lots of great ideas and suggestions. I have used it for all ages and have developed some great lesson plans. Many of the ideas are old and tried but easy to adapt.

FINALLY, a great resource of ESL teachers out there!

This book and audiotape has been one of the most useful resources I've encountered thus far. The activities are very realistic in that they are the kinds of events and situations that ESL learners will encounter in the real world. I especially like the audiotape because the authors chose to use speakers that are very "normal" unlike other audiotapes where the speakers have a robotic tone to their voices. And, the speakers are involved in natural conversations. I also like that the authors chose to use speakers with other accents which again, are real-life people that ESL learners will encounter. As an adult ESL teacher I highly recommend this book!
