Esl/Efl Teaching: Principles for Success
In this book, the authors provide a readable explanation of second language teaching methodology supported by numerous classroom examples. In addition, the new edition includes detailed discussions and examples of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching as well as many scenarios from ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. Throughout the new edition, which contains almost 50 percent new material, the emphasis is on teaching language through meaningful content. The Freemans contend that teaching practices based on sound principles are essential for English language learners. To set the stage for the principles, the authors provide an overview of orientations that ESL/EFL teachers have taken. They describe well-known language teaching methods that fit each orientation and then present the orientation that is most consistent with principles that lead to success. Each of the subsequent chapters develops these principles in detail.

Loved It!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I absolutely love this book. I was required to read it for a bilingual education class however the principles presented in it are true for any learner. Anyone that wants to be a teacher/educator should read this if they truly want their students to understand and apply the material presented to them.

I am using this book for my undergraduate class and I love it! It is quick reading and understandable. I just want to read more and more. It is a fasinating book. I would recommend this book for any future or current teachers who have ESOL students. They have great curriculum ideas. Buy it! You will not regret it!
This is what you should do this Friday night

Freeman and Freeman have done a superb job of writing an informative text filled with theory AND practical application. I am now able to better defend my belief of bilingual education. I am also better able to teach my students in that I have a new set of ideas for lesson plans. This was an easy read. In fact, I could not put it down and read it cover to cover one very late Friday evening/Saturday morning. It is inspirational!This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it!
