A guidebook for ELT teachers and academic managers which aims to promote development by dealing with professional topics in a personal way to raise self-awareness.

Twenty-five lessons illustrate a wide variety of techniques to introduce and practice a range of grammatical structures between elementary and intermediate level. The lessons are easy to follow, prepare, and adapt, and the teaching ideas introduced would be useful for both less experienced teachers and teachers who wish to broaden their repertoire. Few or no additional resources are required.

"Learning Teaching" has been one of the most successful guides to English since it was first published in 1994. Its no-nonsense approach has made it a superb teaching textbook for initial training courses, and also an essential handbook for practising ELT teachers. The third edition has been extensively revised and restructured to take recent developments in ELT into account and now includes a DVD featuring a full lesson being taught as well as demonstrations of practical teaching techniques.
