Being a good English language teacher encompasses a multifaceted understanding of teaching and learning processes which starts with having a good command of the knowledge of the subject area; namely the English language itself, pedagogy and culture. These three aspects are so tightly interwoven that one cannot be considered separate from the others, and all of them are of approximately equal importance. Of these three aspects, Practical English Language Teaching basically focuses onlanguage teaching pedagogy and subject area in order to assist both novice and experienced teachers.

Good!

[Csabi Berger]

To tell the truth, I wasn't quite convinced by the book. I mean, it is certainly a really good concise book for introducing the primary differences between teaching beginners, intermediate and advanced learners, but all in all, I found some chapters quite poor in examples. Also, contrary to the title being "practical", sometimes, I felt the text is not really rich in practical advice and exclusively concentrates on the theory.
