What Should Every EFL Teacher Know?

This very practical book covers the most important information that a teacher of English as a foreign language should know. It focuses on practical issues such as how to teach listening, speaking, reading, and writing; how to teach pronunciation, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and discourse; how to design lessons and courses; and how to solve teaching problems like large classes, a wide range of proficiency in a class, unmotivated students, and misbehaving students.

The writer, Paul Nation, has been training teachers of English for over forty years and he has taught in Indonesia, Thailand, the United States, Finland, and Japan. He has written numerous books and articles about the teaching and learning of vocabulary, language teaching methodology, and curriculum design. He is professor emeritus at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His website contains many free resources for teachers.
