Teaching English as a Foreign Language: Questions and Answers 

Teaching English as a Foreign Language: Questions and Answers covers, in a question-and-answer format, basic issues for EFL teachers, including how to teach vocabulary, grammar, and skills and how to plan lessons.

The perspectives are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of TESOL.

The potential audiences are

• people with no TEFL experience whatsoever who would like some accessible information before they commit themselves to following a formal TEFL course
• people who are undertaking a TEFL course and require accessible information to help reinforce, in a clear way, the input they receive from their instructors
• people who have had significant experience in TEFL but feel they have lost their way and are now on a plateau and are looking for user-friendly information to help them rediscover the art of teaching English as a foreign language.
