About this ebook

100 TESOL Activities for Teachers is a teacher training manual and activity guide that has been used by teacher training groups from Korea, China, Japan, Iraq, Peru, Mexico and many other parts of the world as part of the popular TESOL Certificate Program: Teach English Now! from Coursera and Arizona State University. Designed to be practical, these techniques support the general need to communicate, interact, and make language come alive in the classroom. The manual is organized into 3 distinct parts:

* The first section introduces teachers to some of the most common activities in English language teaching, followed by activities categorized by reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, and icebreakers.

* The second section provides a unique model of lesson planning. This adaptable model helps teachers prepare organized routines to make classes more effective and easier to prepare. Includes activities for discussion, giving instructions, guided and less-guided practice, and independent practice. 

* The third section includes downloadable, photocopiable worksheets for the activities described in the manual.
