 poor November 11, 2007

Sorry, I can't see why this book has been recommended by so many courses. It's formulaic and fails to make useful judgements between methods. I suppose the thing I like least is how he interprets psychological theories. This is essentially a recapitulation of popular prejudices. He misses the basic points about behaviourism, comes out with outdated criticisms of intelligence testing and promotes 'Multiple Intelligence' uncritically (the experimental evidence is in fact unsupportive of this). And B.F. Skinner's first name was not Bernard!
Peculiarly enough, Harmer's other book, 'How to teach English' is probably the best introduction to English teaching. It's compact and leads to you having a basic understanding of what you should be attempting to do in class.
 Note that this is the old 2001 3rd Edition. The 2007 4th Edition ISBN 1405853115 is available. June 10, 2007

First class for a TEFL course September 11, 2005

I read this book in its entirety before completing a TEFL course and found it invaluable. It covers everything from intonation through to the use of audio-visual equipment in class. Whilst I did find some of the information plain common sense it is still a 'must read' to get a foot up in the world of TEFL/TESOL
A great book is now even better! October 26, 2001

This is easily the best all-round A-Z of how to teach English as a Foreign Language. Already a classic before this edition, the new version is thoroughly up-to-date and more rational in its organisation. A real boon to teachers, trainers and other ELT professionals.
An excellent guide to a balanced activities approach January 4, 2001
58 out of 59 found this review helpful
Alongside a guide to grammar and usage, this should cover the vast majority of the material of a TESOL course. As well as containing overviews of teaching approaches and discussion of current issues, the book is a practical guide to a balanced activities approach to teaching with an emphasis on the communicative approach. I came across this book as a required text on an intensive TESOL course. Reading half the book before the course gave me a real head start.
