Peace Corps Manuals - Teaching EFL/ESL
A tremendous free resource for teachers to learn more about teaching English, available for download from this site. Two manuals are available. The first, TEFL/TESL: Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language is designed for use by Peace Corps Volunteers with no previous teaching experience. It combines general teaching practices with specific language teaching techniques, and outlines and assesses each of the major, commonly used approaches to language instruction. Sessions cover techniques for teaching grammar and the four basic language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), including lesson planning and testing. The second, Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Large Multilevel Classes draws on suggestions from volunteers working under difficult conditions with limited resources. It offers ideas and activities to help teachers deal with very large classes or a lack of textbooks. It also addresses such issues as student interests and needs, classroom management, theme-based lesson planning, the national curricula, and resistance to group work. It aids Volunteers in creating classrooms where students are given opportunities to think critically, work cooperatively, and enjoy the experience of learning.
