Teaching Ideas
Good
teachers are always
looking for new ideas. Here are some valuable resources
that can help your classroom practice.
The theory of extensive reading
is one of the
most useful starting points for the teaching of reading
in a second language. Shelley Vernon gives some valuable
insights into using stories
with pre-schoolers while Rocky
Nelson provides a course outline
for an
extensive reading program.
Computer aided
language learning or CALL is an important new source of
resources. ESL Reading features in the
recently published, Tips for Teaching with Call: Practical
Approaches to Computer -Assisted Languag
Learning (2008,
Pearson/Longman).
