Five minutes activities by Penny Ur & Andrew Wright Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521397812

Five Minute Activities is a collection of over 100 ideas for the foreign language classroom, all of which can be used effectively with little or no preparation. The collection offers a convenient reference for established activities and an introduction to a large number of new ones. The activities can vary pace and content, provide transitions, and otherwise contribute to the "well-orchestrated" lesson; give an opportunity for brief review and practice of vocabulary or grammar; help students and teacher to get to know each other; and offer extra material when a teacher has to fill in for a colleague at short notice.

The learner-centered curriculum by David Nunan
Cambridge University Press, 1988
ISBN: 0521358434

Traditionally, the curriculum has been regarded as a statement of what should be done in a course of study. This book takes as its starting point what is done by language teachers in their classes. Nunan develops a concept of the negotiated model in which the curriculum is a collaboration between teachers and students. The author looks at the curriculum from a teacher's perspective and reports on what instructors focus on in planning, implementing, and evaluating language courses. He synthesizes theoretical models and recent empirical studies, and considers the vital part by curriculum design in coordinating the many aspects of language teaching.

Tasks for Language Teachers by Martin Parrott
Cambridge University Press, 1993
ISBN: 0521426669

This practical resource book for teacher trainers and teachers of English and other languages provides task material for training seminars and development groups. The topics are wide-ranging - from the nature and processes of language learning to specific materials and techniques for use by teachers. The Tasks are designed to stimulate meaningful discussion of issues related to language teaching and learning. The book contains 40 Tasks, of two types. The Discussion Tasks are designed to allow users to examine general principles and issues in the context of their specific teaching circumstances, and to exchange ideas. The Classroom-based Tasks provide users with a practical framework for small-scale classroom research - testing out ideas, assumptions and hypotheses in the context of their own classes and learners. The book is suitable for: - participants in courses leading to formal professional qualifications - teachers involved in institutional in-service training programs - teachers involved in informal professional development.


 

A Framework for Task-based learning by Jane Willis
Longman, 1996
ISBN: 0582259738

Planning Lessons and Courses by Tessa Woodward
Cambridge University Press, 2001
ISBN: 0521633540

Does the idea of lesson planning make your heart sink? Are you looking for a book that will take the everyday reality of the language classroom and translate it into a successful scheme of work? Planning Lessons and Courses provides a step-by-step approach to lesson planning. Although easily accessible, the ideas presented are rooted in established educational theory. It contains both thought-provoking analysis on the roles of the teacher and clear explanations of key principles. The chapters are based on real life questions such as: What can go into a lesson or course? How do people learn? How can I teach? What materials can I choose? How can I get started on planning? This book will help inexperienced teachers gain confidence in establishing sound working practices and will give more experienced teachers ideas to refresh their routines. Planning Lessons and Courses deserves to be on every EFL teacher's desk.
