The Efl Teacher's Handbook Daniel Israel

Simply...wow!!! (Ana Luz Segovia on The EFL Teacher) This a great summary of ways teachers motivate students and protect students' motivation from demotivating criticism. The two strongest sources of motivation that I know are mastery experience and vicarious experience. Teachers should endeavour to make achievement visible to students, through opportunities to experience a sense of mastery of a target structure or communicative function. In addition to these mastery experiences, students need to see their peers achieve also through pair work and group work. (Nicholas Walker on Teachers as Motivators). Great read!! Thanks for sharing this jewel: -) (Frank Leo on The Naughty Teacher) What a really excellent insight into a course that, if the CELTA is anything to go by, sounds exceedingly challenging yet rewarding. And delightful insight into the author of this piece, his methods and preferences for teaching as well as a personal touch (Rebecca Hall on The Delta Teacher).
