5 out of 5 stars Scrivenener Learning Teaching   December 12, 2007
 12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This has been a great resource book during my training as an EFL teacher. It contains the essential information a trainee needs to know for any TESOL/TEFL course. e.g. Classroom activities, aims, classroom management, planning lessons, grammar, phonology and lexis content. An essential resource book.


5 out of 5 stars For CELTA, Trinity and TEFL courses.   December 29, 2006

This is an excellent introduction to the field of EFL. Jim Scrivener is a practical professional who has written (updated) a book which deals with the EFL class room, methods that should be considered and practical tips to help novice teachers to orient themselves to the challenges of modern language teaching. Consequently, it is directed towards those with little or no experience, but is useful for veteran teachers as well.

Scrivener, in his chapter on error correction, explains how to use one's fingers to address errors made by the student, while helping others at the same time. It is accompanied by diagrams, and is fairly easy to understand; I found it to be one of the most helpful techniques when teaching English. Scrivener likewise has numerous chapters dealing with every aspect of the EFL class room.

In case you are wondering, I found Scrivener to be the most "to the point" book whilst completing my course in EFL. If you only decide to buy a grammar reference book, then this pedagogy manual must accompany it. A true necessity for CELTA, Trinity or any other TEFL course.
