The Fundamentals of Teaching English as a Foreign Language Course Book is used for TEFL classes with International TEFL Academy that begin in 2015. TEFL is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, or simply, English language instruction for non-native speakers. Also known as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) or English Language Teaching (ELT), the field of TEFL/TESOL is one of the fastest growing educational fields in the world, presenting thousands of excellent professional opportunities in all corners of the globe to native and fluent English speakers who achieve their TEFL/TESOL certification.
As someone whose degree was not in education, this was a very helpful and challenging resource. It was also helpful that I had access to many accompanying videos which showed examples and gave clarification to the text.
This book was extremely useful as a study guide during my course. I like to physically read and mark notes on the pages. I also like that after the course ends, I will have my book to use a resource in future classes.
