ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Extremely clear & thoroughly informative

Teaching by Principles by Brown is an excellent resource book for teachers. In fact, it's the best book I have encountered so far which provides a detailed outlined of most aspects of teaching English as a second language. I'm currently studying for a Master's degree in TESOL and have found this book well set-out and very easy to understand, compared with other books on TESOL teaching such as Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching by Richards & Rodgers and The Elements of Language Curriculum by Brown himself, just to cite two examples.
If you are taking a course in TESOL or are even just currently teaching English overseas (I'm teaching English in Japan) - this book will provide you with much insight into the history of teaching and various teaching methods as well as providing much food for thought on how you can improve your own classes. Highly recommended!

It was required for a class....

This is probably the most poorly written academic book I have ever read. It is required reading for my online CLAD/CTEL class. The author constantly uses jargon that he often does not even attempt to explain either by definition or by example. Do not buy this book unless required to for school purposes!

Quick Delivery!!!!!!!!

The book was received in a very short time, in fact, I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon. The book got to Puerto Rico in perfect conditions. It was an excellent purchase! I would definitely purchase here again.

Well I have been buying a few years. One of the last item that I buy was Teaching by Principles: An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy (3rd Edition). The book arrive to my home very fast, less than 5 days. This is my number 7 book, and I recomend the site to everyone. Every item that I buy in Amazon is in a excellent condition.


Great!
