Description

What do you do when none of your English students will talk? How do you convince shy students to say more than 2 words? Why on earth did you decide to become an ESL teacher?

I’ve asked myself those questions before, many times in fact during the 5 years I was an ESL teacher in China. It sucked.

If the students weren’t talking they were usually misbehaving. The students that were talking I was getting sick of hearing from. And the shy students that wanted to learn but couldn’t get excited or courageous enough to say anything? They probably suffered the most.

Thankfully that didn’t last long, just about 2 years. Oh, but you’re just teaching ESL for 1 year, right? And I’m willing to bet you might even be halfway through your contract too!

So you don’t have the luxury of time like I did. No, you need something now.

That’s what you’ll get with this book. It’s a simple guide detailing strategies you can employ in your class tomorrow, strategies that will get those shy students talking.

What do you do when none of your English students will talk? Listen to someone who’s been there before and discovered how to overcome it – get this book now!
