Well, I take "Method of TESL" this semester. This book is recommended but not required. However, the professor did say "IF YOU WANNT TO TEACH ESL. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE ON YOUR BOOKSHELF". So it is on my bookshelf now.

Excellent for listening!

Penny Ur is considered an authority in the teaching of listening after writing this,at least here in Europe, and it is surely a must have for anyone involved in Language teaching. It was originally published in 1984, however, and at points it may seem dated especially its second part with suggestions of listening exercises.Even so I especially enjoyed the clear and informal language which presents the necessary theoretical background without the academic stiffness.
