Learning One-to-One Paperback with CD-ROM (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers)

Learning One-to-One helps teachers take advantage of the opportunities of one-to-one teaching, and also cope with its challenges. Part 1 provides practical guidelines on teaching individual learners and looks at the roles a one-to-one teacher may have, such as 'conversation partner' or 'observer and listener'. Part 2 contains easy-to-use activities, through which both teacher and learner can focus on the language the learner wants to learn. Many of the activities include ideas for using technology and online resources, which can help to develop language skills as well as being fun to use. "... this text aids in the professionalization of one-to-one teaching and elevates it above tutorial status. This text is a unique, and much needed, contribution to the field for educators who are required to modify their lessons, materials, and perspectives to teach individually." Reviewed by Kate Mastruserio Reynolds, TEFL.net "... brings the methodology of one-to-one tuition into the digital age ... Practical; recommended." Reviewed by Pete Sharma for BEBC, 'Book of the Month' July 2011, EL Gazette "The combination of methodology and practical activities is definitely a winner for me. Apart from including some great, fun activities, the book also gives you better understanding and also provides solutions to the complex problems of one-to-one teaching." Reviewed by Alison Susans, TEFL.net This handbook is designed for all language teachers who are giving one-to-one lessons, either in person or as part of a distance learning programme.
