My cousin may be going abroad next year as an ESL teacher. She has studied languages herself but doesn't have ESL teacher training. She has expressed an interest in reading some good books on language teaching & ESL teaching specifically to get prepared.

Can anyone in circles recommend good books on how to teach ESL that have practical, actionable advice for a smart, educated, motivated aspiring teacher?

Thank you!

@ShaulaEvans @edutooters @bookstodon loads of good lesson plan stuff https://www.eslcafe.com/resources/lesson-plans/grammar I’m using it this week for a grammar lesson thing. Professor who teaches ESL too tipped me to it.

@ShaulaEvans @edutooters @bookstodon My daughter Nissa, the family linguistics nerd, suggests "While We're On the Topic: BVP on Language, Acquisition, and Classroom Practice" by Bill VanPatten as a good place to start
