Many visitors to my Websites have asked me to recommend language books and other resources, including voice recorders and iPods, for use in teaching and learning English. Now, I've created a page on my site where I review some of these materials that can be purchased directly from Amazon or other online stores. You can see my recommendations at:

Feel free to suggest your own favorite language-learning materials.
Best,

I've been reading a book by Michael Lewis on the Lexical Approach. Actually, there are two books to read: the first one is a theoretical account of ELT (methods,methodology, appproaches, principles and beliefs towards the teahing of a second language etc.) and the changes it's undergone. The second one is on how to implement the Lexical Approach into the language classroom.
ReplyDeleteI think EFL/ESL teachers from all over the world should read these books. They're a helpful source of information for those willing to get more familiar with current issues in regard with the teaching of a second language.
