Want to travel and teach English abroad? Learn more about TESOL certification. TEFL 101 Principles, Approaches, Methods & Techniques by Luan Hanratty provides an exhaustive overview of Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It's not really a book for beginning teachers as the title might imply, but rather for teachers with a certain amount of experience who would like to really dig into their profession and become well-informed, well rounded teachers. As such, I would recommend the book to teachers who are passionate about taking their English teaching to the next level. The book's main focus is on making sure that students are front and center and not subject to teacher centered lessons. Pros Solid advice for student centered teaching by an established pro in the business Insightful presentation of pros and cons of major linguistic teaching theories applied in TEFL Thorough discussions of important classroom management techniques Detailed advice on grammar, phonology, vocabulary teaching techniques Cons Not for TEFL teaching beginners despite the title Great information on teaching Chinese which leaves readers not teaching in China out of the loop Read more at:  http://esl.about.com/od/modernteachingtechniques/gr/Tefl-101-Principles-Approaches-Methods-And-Techniques-Review.htm
