Teaching English as a Second Language

Dr Shirley O’Neill, Annabelle Gish

Teaching English as a Second Language is written specifically for the needs of Australian teacher education students, and offers practical guidance to encourage quality teaching of children whose first language is other than English. It provides early childhood and primary teachers in training with an overview of the learning theories relevant to TESOL and ESL teaching practice.
  • Case studies are used to show students how to develop a lesson plan.
  • ‘Focus on pedagogy’ boxes throughout containing teaching tips.
  • Coverage of a broad range of topics allows students to develop a variety of skills and knowledge.
  • Examples of how stories, such as Jack and the Bean Stalk, show how to teach meanings and themes across cultures.
