| Abstract: | The
manual on the teaching of English as a Foreign or Second Language is
intended as a practical classroom guide for Peace Corps volunteers. It
describes procedures and offers sample exercises and activities for a
wide range of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills
(whole-class, small-group, and individual participation), and classroom
testing and preparation for national examinations. The manual covers a
variety of teaching situations, including primary and secondary schools
and colleges, the office or workplace, school and work settings with
limited facilities for instruction and those with ample support, and
any geographical or cultural setting where Peace Corps volunteers may
be found. Background and theoretical information are provided in
addition to practical suggestions for classroom instruction. The first
chapter deals with the needs and constraints of teaching in different
situations. Chapter 2 discusses working with a variety of approaches.
The next four chapters outline specific techniques and activities for
teaching speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Chapter 7 addresses
the teaching of grammar, and the final chapter focuses on lesson
planning and testing. Appended materials include lists of textbooks and
references, relevant organizations and publications, and acronyms. An
evaluation form for evaluating the manual is included. (MS) |
