Twenty Tips for Teaching IGCSE ESL: a book of ideas for teaching English as a Second Language in preparation for the IGCSE examination

Tips for Teaching IGCSE English as a Second Language‘ offers student-centred exercises for improving speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar. Teachers are reminded of quick and easy ways to raise their students‘ level of achievement. The author, Dr Rosemary Westwell taught English as a Foreign Language for over 20 years. As Head of EFL in an English public school, there was limited time to improve the end-of-year examination prospects for her students. The ideas and suggestions offered in this workshop arose from her experiences with these classes. Many of the exercises and ideas are also included in the author‘s book 'Teaching Language Learners‘ but most are adapted for the level required for this type of examination. Examinations for students who have English as a Second Language generally expect students to have a working knowledge of English that needs refining for the examination. The exercises are targeted at the advanced members of the class, but are easily adapted to those who are less able.
