Life Set to Ease for TEFL Teachers Overseas

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 30, 2011 -- Life for English teachers overseas has just become a whole lot simpler; and it’s all thanks to Essential TEFL: Grammar, Lesson Plans and 300 Activities to Make You a Confident Teacher – i-to-i’s brand new book, packed with TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) resources.

TEFL course provider i-to-i realized that there was too much confusion about which teaching resources are needed to successfully teach English abroad; so they crammed all the essentials into one, concise book. It’s set to be every TEFL teacher’s new best friend.

Essential TEFL has been specifically developed to empower TEFL teachers, by giving them the resources and confidence to walk into a classroom and deliver a constructive, effective English lesson. It’s brimming with classroom activities, loads of lesson plans and an entire grammar glossary – designed to save time preparing lessons, so teachers have more time to enjoy life living overseas.

These resources are easy to apply since they have been written from a teaching perspective; by genuine TEFL tutors. The authors, James Jenkin and Emma Foers, have been ruthless in their approach – refining the book’s content so it only includes the most effective, most useful and most fun activities, to keep your students excited and engaged about learning English.

James Jenkin, author and i-to-i’s Academic Director, said: “New teachers can often feel overwhelmed – grammar, planning, designing activities, knowing how to teach – and that’s before you’ve even entered the classroom! Essential TEFL is designed to make everything easily accessible; so you can put planning to one side and focus on your students.”

Co-author of Essential TEFL, Emma Foers, also said: “I can still remember how challenging my first experience in the classroom was. Working out how to make my lessons as clear and fun as possible was tough. There are so many TEFL books out there that I didn’t know which ones to choose: that’s why we decided to put everything you need into one book. I certainly wish this book had been out there to help me when I first started teaching!”
