A Training Course For Tefl is a basic, practical handbook on the theory and practice of teaching English as a second or foreign language. It covers the full range of topics that a trainee or practising teacher should be familiar with. It includes: classroom techniques covering the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, aids, testing, problem classes, phonetics, and syllabus design. All the topics contain practice material such as exercises, activities, and discussion points, as well as references to existing textbooks. There is also a glossary, an index, and a bibliography for further reading. Although suitable for both EFL and ESL, native and non-native teachers of English, this book makes particular reference to and covers the syllabus of the RSA Certificate for Overseas Teachers of English.
