A Timeless Manual for ESL Teachers

Originally written by and for the Peace Corps 15 years ago, Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Large, Multilevel Classes is chock-full of ideas for any ESL teacher even today. The 11 chapters on 147 pages discuss topics ranging from building a class community to assessing learning outcomes. As our dept. takes part in the Basic Skills Initiative and tries hard to increase student retention and success rates, this timeless manual is worth thumbing through again. It could have practical implications for our classrooms.
