The book is good, but it’d be better to check the next, updated edition.

It gives brief yet important insights of teaching YL in ESL classrooms.

[Dorthe Svendsen · Rating 5 out of 5]

En god fagbok. Godt blandet av repetisjon, enkel ped og både fremoverlent og bakoverlent forskning. Tror denne skal bli fin å bruke til eksamen!!!

[Bro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book for teachers in a school classroom. For me the first 5 chapters were a good review. I am going to read those again. I work mainly with speech, so that is my focus when I read. I don't use worksheets and such so ours is all active learning. There is something here for everyone though no matter what style or focus you have.

Easy to read if you have teaching experience. Covers all the significant areas of teaching English to YL.

الكتاب خاص بتعليم صغار السن، جدًا ممتع، طريقة الصياغة وترتيب الأفكار أفضل من كتاب كاميرون بمراحل استمتعت جدا بقراءته
تركز على دراسات تدعم كلامها، أنشطة ممكن المعلم يسويها للطلاب.
